When Abby Mason looks away from her six-year-old step-daughter for 30 seconds one day at the beach, the last thing she expects is to look back and find Emma gone. It seems as if Emma has just disappeared into thin air and as the search for Emma grows and nothing arises, Abby finds herself locked in her guilt.

Months pass and Abby refuses to give up hope even when everyone around her believes that Emma simply drowned. The need to find Emma turns into an obsession for Abby and soon her relationship with Emma’s dad Jake is suffering.

Liane Moriarty’s latest novel What Alice Forgot was originally due out early in 2010 and I was really looking forward to it but, unfortunately, the book was delayed and is now due out on 10th June 2010. It’s also had a cover make over which I love and I can’t wait for the book to be released as it sounds similar to Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella which I loved. Here’s the synopsis:

Imagine losing the most important ten years of your life … Alice is twenty-nine.She adores sleep, chocolate, and her ramshackle new house.She’s newly engaged to the wonderful Nick and is pregnant with her first baby. There’s just one problem.All that was ten years ago … Alice has slipped in a step-aerobics class, hit her head and lost a decade.Now she’s a grown-up, bossy mother of three in the middle of a nasty divorce and her beloved sister Elisabeth isn’t speaking to her.This is her life but not as she knows it. Clearly Alice has made some terrible mistakes.Just how much can happen in a decade? Can she ever get back to the woman she used to be?
