Description
The Reappearance of Rachel Price. Rachel Price disappeared without a trace sixteen years ago, leaving behind a husband who was heartbroken and a two-year-old daughter named Bel. Her disappearance was one of the biggest mysteries in their small English village for more than 15 years. Bel grew raised without her mother, only with questions that never got answers. Bel is now 18 years old and on the verge of becoming an adult. She has learned to live with the mystery, but everything changes when a film crew starts making a true-crime documentary about Rachel’s abduction.
The impossible then happens.
Rachel Price comes back.
Alive, uninjured, and going back into Bel’s life as if nothing had happened in the last sixteen years. Rachel says she was taken against her will and held captive, but she just got away from her abductor. The town is buzzing, the media is going crazy, and the documentary crew is filming everything. The world sees a miracle, but Bel sees something else: flaws in her mother’s story, behavior that doesn’t add up, and a presence that feels more threatening than motherly.
As Bel digs deeper, she finds more and more disturbing information. Why does Rachel not seem to care about current technologies or media attention? Why is she being so careful about what she says to the documentary crew? And why are so many people friends, neighbors, and even her own father willing to believe Rachel’s account of events, even if there are big holes in it?
Bel’s pursuit for the truth turns into a race against time, and the cameras that are always around her only make things worse. Bel learns that this isn’t only about a missing person coming back when she looks into her mother’s past and finds frightening secrets in her own family and town. It’s about something much worse: manipulation, obsession, and maybe even murder.
