Of all of Picoult's books that I've read, I do think Second Glance is still my favorite. But I did enjoy this one very much. Andrew Hopkins kidnapped his 4 year old daughter from Arizona, and started a new life together in New Hampshire. He becomes both father and mother to her, and provides her with all of the love and support she needs.

The daughter, Delia Hopkins, now a professional search and rescuer, has always known that her mother died in an automobile accident, and invents many versions of the mother she doesn't remember.

Next door neighbors Eric on one side, and Fitz on the other, become an inseparable trio with Delia that lasts their lives.

Until one day the police arrest Andrew at his home on kidnapping charges from 1977 in Arizona. The rest of the novel is about Delia's learning about her past and Andrew's original motives. The primary themes are about love and what you do to protect someone you love, about lying, about who you are, among other ideas.
