Losing You

Echoes of Absence

When fifteen-year-old Amber Dawson vanishes without a trace from her mother’s own living room, grief and fear ripple through the quiet streets of Dorset. In Losing You, Susan Lewis crafts a heart-wrenching portrait of loss through the eyes of Claire Dawson, a devoted single mother shattered by the disappearance of her only child. As Claire scrambles to retrace Amber’s last steps—from the neon glow of a seaside funfair to the empty echoes of their favorite café—each familiar landmark becomes a haunting reminder of what might have been. Lewis’s evocative prose captures every tremor of hope and despair, immersing readers in a mother’s desperate search for answers that refuse to surface.

Fragments of Truth

Detective Inspector Mark Cartwright steps onto the case with methodical precision, but even his unwavering resolve cannot erase the ache in Claire’s heart. When small clues—a frayed friendship bracelet, an unexplained phone call, a scrap of burned paper—begin to coalesce into a murky puzzle, the line between ally and adversary blurs. As Claire confronts secrets she never imagined Amber could keep, her faith in those closest to her erodes. Lewis weaves subplots of betrayal, teenage rebellion, and community suspicion to build an atmosphere thick with suspense. Every revelation cuts deeper, forcing both mother and investigator to question how well we ever really know those we love.

Reckoning of the Heart

As the search intensifies and time runs out, Claire must summon every ounce of courage to face the unthinkable: that the greatest danger may lie not in the unknown, but in the betrayals hiding in plain sight. With the salt-tanged wind of the Dorset coast whipping around her, she races toward a final confrontation that will test her resolve and redefine the meaning of motherhood. In a breathtaking climax where truth and forgiveness collide, Losing You delivers a profound meditation on hope’s fragile wings and the redemptive power of love.
