The Year of Fog by Michelle Richmond

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was given to me by a coworker. It is the story of a woman, Abby, who is walking on Ocean Beach in California with Emma, her fiance's daughter. Emma pulls her hand from Abby's and goes ahead, and in a few seconds of distraction on Abby's part, disappears from sight. The rest of the book is the engrossing story of the search for Emma and how life changes for Abby as a result. The book was very descriptive and detailed. Although it takes place mostly in California, Abby is from Alabama and several scenes take place there. The author is a native of Mobile, Alabama and mentions many places that only a native Mobilian would be familiar with, such as the Dew Drop Inn. This is definitely not a book for children, because of the frightening concept of a missing child and many adult themes in the story. It does not really qualify as a romance, but relationships play a large part in the story.
