The Deep End of the Ocean (Cappadora Family Series Book 1)
The first book ever chosen by Oprah's Book Club: "The horror of losing a child is somehow made worse when the case goes unsolved for nearly a decade. In it, 3-year-old Ben Cappadora is kidnapped from a hotel lobby where his mother is checking into her 15th high school reunion. His disappearance tears the family apart and invokes separate experiences of anguish, denial, and self-blame. Marital problems and delinquency in Ben's older brother (in charge of him the day of his kidnapping) ensue."
