Like Mother, Like Daughter (Book 3)

Amelia knows her mother didn’t abandon her.  Despite her father’s explanation that things were too hard, despite her friend’s reassurance that it wasn’t her fault, despite all evidence to the contrary, she refuses to believe Marissa walked out of their home that late October afternoon with a plan to never return.  And now she may have proof.  When Amelia discovers her mother’s diary, the curious 17-year-old uncovers a goldmine of clues, but ultimately, it raises more questions than answers.  Who was J.J.?  What happened on that fateful night in the French Quarter on Pirate’s Alley?  And the final entry before she went missing – why did Marissa make plans to travel to Philadelphia?  Amelia reaches out to her mother’s friends, Tori and Lily, but neither woman has the answers.  Did they really lose touch with Marissa over the years, or are they withholding something to protect Amelia?  With nothing but a paper map and a bus pass, Amelia makes the 1,200 mile trip to retrace her mother’s steps and find the truth about her disappearance.  But the deeper she digs into Marissa’s past, the further she risks getting involved in something far more dangerous than anyone anticipated.  Can Amelia show the same courage and perseverance her mother did years ago, without becoming the next member of the Hill family to go missing?
