HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: The Face on the Milk Carton was a New York Times best-seller and became a movie on Lifetime.

The revolving cast of characters will keep readers interested, as will Janie’s search for identity. Chapters alternate between Janie’s former kidnapper, Hannah, who is seeking revenge on “the parent thief,” and the main narrative, which switches its third-person point of view between Janie, her siblings, and others. There’s one person Janie can turn to, though-her ex, Reeve.
But her new life is threatened when a famous crime writer starts hounding her relatives and threatening to publish a book. Ever since Janie recognized her face on a milk carton and dealt with the media aftermath, she has been eager for anonymity, and she sees her chance to blend in as a college student in crowded New York City. Readers who have followed Janie/Jennie’s story since The Face on the Milk Carton (1990) will be eager to learn how the series concludes in this fifth book.
