In Plain Sight (Book 1)

Marissa Hill is good at her job.  As a psychology intern, she helps kids in foster care move past their traumas and uncover their resilience. But when one of her young clients reveals a tiny detail he never told the cops, Marissa must start thinking like a detective. According to the police report, five-year-old Landon managed to escape his violent home one morning because his father was drunk and disoriented.

But he didn’t do it alone.

Landon tells Marissa that an older brother, only known as “J.J.”, helped him escape.  No one can account for J.J.  No one can identify J.J.  And no one but Marissa believes he exists. With Landon’s abusive father still at large, the stakes are even higher to find this child soon.  In order to protect her job—and a secret of her own—Marissa shuts out her coworkers, her family, and her two best friends Lily and Tori, as she begins this unauthorized investigation. But pushing people away might be a fatal mistake, as little does she know, the key witness is someone very close to her, and the missing child is hidden in plain sight.
