520 Jane Howard is a professor in Boston, in love with a
brilliant, erratic man named Theo, and she becomes
pregnant. Motherhood turns out to be a great welcome
surprise--but when a devastating turn of events tears her
existence apart she has no choice but to flee all she
knows and leave the world. Just when she has renounced
life itself, the disappearance of a young girl pulls her
back from the edge and into an obsessive search for some
sort of personal redemption. Convinced that she knows more
about the case than the police do, she is forced to make a
decision--stay hidden or bring to light a shattering
truth.
