***
Nine years ago, Molly Tanner witnessed a young girl's abduction in the busy city of Philadelphia, shifting her occasional clairvoyance into overdrive. Two days later, the girl's body was found, and Molly's life fell apart. Consumed by guilt for not acting upon her visions, and on the brink of losing her family, Molly escaped the torturous reminders in the city, fleeing to the safety of the close-knit rural community of Boyds, Maryland.
Molly's life is back on track, her son has begun college, and she and her husband have finally rekindled their relationship. Their fresh start is shattered when a seven-year-old girl disappears from a local park near Molly's home. Unable to turn her back on another child and troubled by memories of the past, Molly sets out to find her, jeopardizing the marriage she'd fought so hard to hold together. While unearthing clues and struggling to decipher her visions, Molly discovers another side of Boyds, where the residents--and the land itself--hold potentially lethal secrets, and exposes another side of her husband, one that threatens to tear them apart.
CHASING AMANDA has the emotional draw of a Jodi Picoult book, with the family drama and suspense of Lisa Scottoline.

A young girl goes missing in a small town. The anguish of the parents, the attempts by the townspeople to try to find her.This is a scenario that has played itself out so many times over the years in fiction and heartbreakingly in real life. But this mystery is so full of twists and turns a person could get whiplash trying to keep up. I was so sure I knew the culprit.The story just had to catch up with my conclusions. But then oh no, that couldn't be, could it? This is the sort of mystery thatChasing Amandaby Melissa FosterIt is now eight years ago since Molly witnessed the abduction of a little girl in a Walmart parking lot. Molly has had the hardest time getting over this traumatic situation, as she felt she could have done more to help this little girl. Molly, her husband Cole, and her son, Erik, decided to move away from Philadelphia, the town where this occurred eight years ago, to a new town, called Boyd, for a fresh start for Molly. Here they are making a new life with new
I have to admit when I began to read this story I had high expectations. The author had received many favorable reviews, awards, and was heavily marketing the book through various social media. I dont recall whether I actually purchased the book or got it free through a promotion but because it was a fellow twitter friend and author, I committed myself, without telling the author, to reviewing it when I finished. I am a big believer in supporting other writers and this is one way I try to show
I thought the premise of the book was good and as a 99 cent Kindle download that didn't have too much religion in it, I figured I'd give it a shot. Would I pay more than 99 cents? No. The basics are simple: 9 years ago, Molly Tanner saw a young girl's abduction in Philly, causing her clairvoyance to start acting up. Two days later the girl's body was found, and Molly still can't get over the guilt. In fact she feels so guilty she moves her husband and son to Boyds, Maryland. (farmland).
Oh my good Lord, this book dragged on and was way over the top dramatic. If I didn't have to read this book for a challenge, I may or may not have given up on it. There were points where I would lose serious interest in the book and move onto other books and times when I would zone out while reading it.
The book was ok. There were so many things that just didn't ring true to me. The setting was a small town where everyone knows your name -- except they don't. And that small town had a Panera. The main character, Molly, just seemed to annoy me. She was so dramatic at so many points. And it didn't make sense for her to be the one person really trying to find the missing girl. The only thing that kept me reading was that I wanted to find out if the missing girl made it back safely to her parents.
