About this audiobook
Eight-year-old Sophie Donohue just wanted to be like every other little girl. Which is why her mother, Janine, reluctantly agreed to let her go on the weekend camping trip with her Brownie troop. But when Janine arrives to pick up Sophie after the trip, her daughter is not with the others. Somehow, along the forested route from West Virginia, Sophie has disappeared.
Sophie is no ordinary eight-year-old. She suffers from a rare disease, and Janine has recently enrolled her in an experimental treatment as a last effort to save her life-despite the vehement objections of her ex-husband, Joe. Without her medication, Sophie cannot survive long. All her mother's instincts tell Janine that Sophie is alive, but time is running out.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The ideas where interesting and unexpected, the characters were only partially realistic and partially just “written for the right story”.
Storyline of Zoey had not much sense.
The idea of the mother “feeling her daughter” and finding her after everyone gave up was ok but just too straitened.
The book could have been twice shorter. It often repeats itself and explained to the reader obvious things , feelings and what results in what without giving the reader credit of intelligence. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Way too wordy and some of the emotional content just doesn't feel true. The second story made no sense.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved the story. Clear, fresh and entertaining. It was easy listening entertainment. I love the narrator. Beautiful voice. The narration is natural with appropriate emotional intonation.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A book on inspiration, determination and hope! I was engulfed in the story, loved every second.
