Fifty year-old Marcy Taggart is no stranger to tragedy. Peter, her husband of twenty-five years, has left her for the golf pro at their exclusive country club. Two years ago, her mentally ill daughter, Devon, propelled a canoe to the middle of the lake near their summer home, and vanished without a trace. All that was found was the capsized canoe, and Devon was presumed dead. Now, Marcy finds herself in Ireland on what should have been an anniversary trip with her husband, struggling to put the pieces of her life back together. When Marcy is relaxing in a pub after a long day of sightseeing, she sees Devon casually stroll past the large front window. Is her daughter really alive? Did Devon stage her accident, try to shed her unhappiness, and begin life anew in another country? In Now You See Her by Joy Fielding, Marcy begins a frantic race against time and circumstance to reclaim her daughter and put her turbulent past to rest. Joy Fielding has a rare gift for creating believable, complex, and engaging characters, whose flaws make them all the more human.
