But when she encounters three-year-old Ottilie Wade, Alex is completely unprepared for the effect the sweet, shy little girl has on her.

And the deeper she looks into the case, the more Alex comes to feel that she and Ottilie are being drawn together by fate., Â , As disturbing evidence mounts and Alexâ€™s superiors seem unwilling to help, Alex knows she will have to risk everythingâ€”her job and the life she lovesâ€”to save Ottilie.
