About This Item
Don Mills, ON, Canada: Mira, 2001. Trade Paperback. Used; Like New. 8-year-old Sophie is dying from a rare disease, and her mother Janine has recently enrolled in her in an experimental treatment as a last effor to save her. Sophie responds well enough to go camping with her Brownine troop, but she disappears. Janine's desperate search is juxtaposed against the determination of a woman living deep in the West Virginia forest, awaiting the arrival of her own daughter who's escaped from prison. Sophie has blundered her way into that woman's life and it seems impossible for both mothers to have their wishes.
Synopsis
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. But 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. Deep in the Virginia forest, another drama unfolds. Sophie finds refuge in a remote cabin inhabited by Zoe, a woman who wants nothing to do with the child. Zoe is struggling to save her own daughter from the law, and Sophie's presence jeopardizes any chance of that happening. She is as determined to save her daughter as Janine is to save Sophie…and only one of them can succeed.
