The Search for Ladybug

While on a business trip to Toronto, 54-year-old Lauren Matthews vanishes without a trace. Quick-tempered Emily, her teenage daughter, is convinced that it's all her fault. But her husband Jake has his own reasons for believing she left of her own volition.

Two years later, during a family wedding in the Dominican Republic, Emily finds her mother. But this is not Lauren. This is Sarah Langley, a carbon copy of Lauren.

Emily and her family are convinced that this is Lauren, but Sarah and her elusive husband have proof that she is not. Jake can't shake the feeling that something is not right and that Sarah is somehow linked to his wife's disappearance. After seeing a picture of Lauren, Sarah is shaken and even a little scared. Who the hell is Lauren Matthews? That's a question that haunts Sarah. But worse, what happened to her? Could her parents have done the unthinkable? Could she be in danger too? Should she team up with Lauren's family to uncover the truth, or can she really trust them?

The Search for Ladybug is a book about how far one would go for love and how much further despair can take you.
