From Booklist
Funeral director Blair Emerson has more than her share of problems. Daughter Brandi, kidnapped as a toddler and returned 11 years later, is obsessive-compulsive, afraid to be touched. Divorced from her lawyer-husband, Blair brings Brandi to Live Oak, Texas, where Blair grew up, hoping the small town's friendliness will ease her daughter's therapy--and her own fears about Brandi's safety. But a string of arsons frightens and divides the people she has known all her life, and as a witness to one of the fires, Blair is embroiled in the investigation. Is the culprit an environmentalist hated for challenging the way Live Oak's people treat their animals? Or a troubled teen with a psychological problem just as serious as Brandi Emerson's? And is someone really stalking the Emersons again, or has Blair's need to protect her daughter driven her over the edge of sanity? Amey, who has written five previous mysteries, is an engrossing storyteller. Mary Carroll --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
Twelve years ago, Brandi Lakeman was snatched from her backyard. More than a decade later, the girl was miraculously recovered, yet her abductor remains at large. Now her mother, funeral director Blair Emerson, is determined to rebuild their lives, returning to Blair's childhood home of Live Oak, Texas.
But their move to the friendly town cannot restore normalcy. Brandi, driven by compulsions, bears the scars of her traumatic childhood. And Blair, struggling with her own obsessions with her daughter's safety, becomes a witness in an arson investigation that has divided Live Oak. Evidence points to an environmentalist who has alienated much of the town. But Blair reports seeing a teenage boy running from near the latest fire. What she doesn't say is that he resembled the grandson of her beloved friend-a troubled teen struggling to hide his own painful past.
Meanwhile, a stranger is watching Blair and Brandi, stalking their cabin, lurking in the shadows at dead of night...
