Book Review: The Child Finder

IS IT possible to find a young child who has been lost in an unforgiving environment for over three years?
Even if it were possible, what are the chances of finding him or her alive?
When the police have given up their search and an investigation stalls, families call her: Naomi Cottle. She finds missing children, but it is not always good news.
Five-year-old Madison Culvert has been missing for three years. She vanished on a family trip to the mountainous forests of Oregon, where they'd gone to cut down their own Christmas tree.
The Culvers' last hope is Naomi. As the child finder proceeds to do what she does best, this particular case starts to bring back memories of her own past.
In trying to find the missing child, Naomi is also searching for herself, what her memory had blocked as a child – some past trauma that her mind won't allow her to access.
And as a result, she has to look past her own fears in order to be able to see the future.
The Child Finder by author Rene Denfeld is a poignant and haunting tale of resilience and bravery, of survival, hope and love.
It's a riveting tale that's bound to keep the reader mesmerised to the very last page.
