MORE ABOUT FINDING EMMA:

A child torn from the arms of loving parents, a relationship torn apart from loss…

Megan sees her daughter Emma everywhere. She’s the little girl standing in the supermarket, the child waiting for the swings at the playground, the girl with ice cream dripping down her face. But it’s never Emma. Because Emma’s been missing for two years.

Unable to handle the constant heartache of all the false sightings, Megan’s husband threatens to walk away unless Megan can agree to accept Emma is gone. Megan’s life and marriage is crumbling all around her and she realizes she may have to do the thing she dreads most: move on. When Megan takes a photo of a little girl with an elderly couple at the town fair, she believes it to be her missing daughter. Unable to let go, she sets in motion a sequence of events that could destroy both families lives.

2. PS Mom can relate with Finding Emma

Here’s what PS Mom Reviews had to say about Steena Holme’s Finding Emma: ”I really enjoyed this book, mostly because I can relate to the mother a little. Of course I’ve never been in a terrible circumstance like this, but I can only imagine. Her emotions make sense to me. She never gives up hope in finding her daughter again. Don’t let this lead you to believe this book is just sad. It’s not. There is some hope, and as the story unravels you’ll be drawn right in.”

3. Emotional Praise for Finding Emma

In a review of Finding Emma by Keenly Kristin she says, “I wasn’t sure how this book could capture the multitude of emotions that would surround the abduction of a young girl, but it sure conveyed (what seemed to me) an authentic sense of grief and fear and guilt and hopelessness (as well as hopefulness)…well, you get the idea. Finding Emma caught me from page one and gripped me until the very last page. I was pleasantly surprised at my ability to identify with and relate to the characters within this novel, which author Steena Holmes made unbelievably simple. I read Finding Emma intensely, captivated by the mystery, by the suspense, by the conflicts…eager to reach the conclusion, yet not wanting the book to end.”

4. Finding Emma Hooks Book Cover Justice

Book Cover Justice gave Finding Emma high praise by saying, “Finding Emma is an emotional, heart wrenching story. I started it while sitting in the waiting room at an appointment and only made it about twenty pages in. I couldn’t wait to finally get home and pick it back up. In fact, I was so hooked even after those few pages that when I did sit back down, I didn’t get back up until I had finished the whole book.”

5. Finding Emma Affects the Entire Family

According to All Grown Up‘s recent review, “I am so glad I decided to go for it and read it! Finding Emma by Steena Holmes is an amazing story of how the loss of a child affects the entire family. From mom, to dad, to siblings, you see how each one takes the loss of Emma to heart, how they each take the blame for her kidnapping, and how each of them deals with the guilt in their own way. It is a wonderful book. Steena Holmes takes her characters and gives them so much depth and emotion.”
