RITA® award winning author!What if she never came home . . . ?When Mitchell Brannon’s beloved wife sets off for home after a conference, he has no idea that his life is about to change forever. Mitch returns from work early that evening, surprised that Jill’s car isn’t in the garage. But her voice on the answering machine makes him smile. “Hey, babe, I’m just now checking out of the hotel, but … of the hotel, but I’ll stop and pick up something for dinner. Love you.” Hours later, Jill still hasn’t returned, and Mitch’s irritation turns to dread.
When the police come up empty, Mitch enlists the help of their next-door neighbor, Jill’s best friend, Shelley, to help search. As hours turn into days and days into weeks, Mitch and Shelley’s friendship grows ever closer—and decidedly more complicated. Every lead seems to be a dead end, and Mitch wonders how he can honor the vows he made to a woman who has seemingly disappeared from the face of the earth.

Sad but good story of Gods suffient grace.
Deborah Raney is one of my favorite authors. This book is interesting and covers a subject I have never read a book about–when someone inexplicably drops off The Face of the Earth. It was interesting to see people’s reactions and how many times the husband is the chief suspect when something happens to his wife.
Mystery that kept you wondering what would happen.
Another great one by Deborah Ramey. Full of mystery and suspense.
It was very well written, learned a ton about the Amish school house shooting and those so terribly crushed by it…. So great to read of God’s faithfulness to the shooter’s wife, and family….and of the love and forgiveness of the Amish people.
Deborah Raney is an excellent author who has written a story demonstrating lives committed to godly, biblical principles in realistic, difficult situations. Excellent character and story development. Hard to put down.
This book really made me think about all that marriage vows mean. Good, thought-provoking book!
Face of the Earth is a book that gripped me from the beginning and didn’t let go even after I turned the last page.
