Fiction by Jacqueline Mitchard
Beth Cappadora is a successful photographer and happy mother of three when the unthinkable happens: her three-year-old son Ben disappears. Suddenly, nothing else matters to her. She forgets her career, her her husband, even her remaining two children: seven-year-old Vincent and baby Kerry. Her grief is all consuming. As a mother I can both understand her desperate feelings, and equally want to shake her senseless for her ignorant failings.
And then, ten years later, Ben is found; still this is not a happily-ever-after, but another difficulty. Where has he been all this time? And how can he still be the same child that they lost, especially when they are not the same family that they were?
This was a sad story but a good one.
