The Year of Fog by Michelle Richmond

I'm currently in the process of reading The Year of Fog. The book starts out with Abby taking care of her fiance's daughter, Emma, for the weekend. They go to a beach and Abby being a photographer is busy taking pictures. Emma, insisting on running ahead for a minute, gets lost into the thick fog and Abby finds herself frantically looking for Emma, who is nowhere to be found. I can relate to this book a lot because it has a paragraph about the feeling when you are in honest and true panic and i completely know that feeling. I remember being little and getting lost in a place like Target and Southdale and just that pit in your stomach and the feeling that you will never find happiness ever again. I can also kind of relate to this because the closest thing to a child i have right now are my two nieces, and i can't even imagine the feeling of being responsible for them and then losing them or the possibility of them getting kidnapped. This book really hit the feeling you get when something terrible happens dead on, and I'm anxious to find out what happens to Emma, whether she'll turn up or if she was kidnapped!
