The Deep End of the Ocean - Jacquelyn Mitchard

A gripping family drama that explores the unthinkable: a child vanishes without a trace. When nine-year-old Ben Cappadora disappears during a family vacation, his mother Beth is haunted by a single moment of inattention. Twenty years later, a chance encounter shatters the fragile peace the family has rebuilt. Jacquelyn Mitchard's debut novel is a powerful meditation on guilt, redemption, and the bonds that hold families together through their darkest hours. A compelling page-turner that resonates long after the final chapter.
