Twenty-year-old Taylor Jarvis and Paul Carroll go missing in Weir, North Dakota, where they have been working on rigs owned by Oasis Energy. The boys stayed in Black Creek Lodge, a ?man camp? providing room and board. The mothers of the two boys come to Weir to find out what happened to their sons and form an uneasy alliance. Shay Jarvis, a 41-year-old single grandmother, has more grit than resources; for wealthy suburban housewife Colleen Carroll, the opposite is true. Overtaxed by worry, exhaustion, and fear, they question each other's methods and motivations - but there is no one else to help, and they must learn to work together if they are to have any chance of breaking through the barriers put up by their sons? employer, the indifference of an overtaxed police department, and a town of strangers with their own secrets against a backdrop of a modern day gold rush.

My Review:

This book showed how motherhood never ends. Mothers always take care of their kids, especially when they disappear. As secrets come out, one mother starts to realize that she doesn't want to let go. The past starts to resurface and old memories are brought to light. People want some of them to stay hidden, and they will stop at nothing to get their wish. This was a great mystery, and I can not wait to read more from this author. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
