When I went up close and read the type beneath the photo, I found that she had been missing for fifteen years. On that day, the concourse was plastered with home-made missing child posters, each with a grainy picture of a very small child, maybe three years old. It’s a New York City airport and it’s immense.

And if not, who is Janie Johnson, and what really happened? Janie can't believe that her loving parents kidnapped her, but as she begins to piece things together, nothing makes sense.
She recognized that little girl-it was she. But as Janie Johnson glanced at the face of the ordinary little girl with her hair in tight pigtails, wearing a dress with a narrow white collar-a three-year-old who had been kidnapped twelve years before from a shopping mall in New Jersey-she felt overcome with shock. No one ever really paid close attention to the faces of the missing children on the milk cartons.
