Carol Seaborg, who witnesses an abduction then begins to inhabit the life of the woman abducted, is not crazy, though she continually toes the line. She takes care of her children, including scared, precocious 7-year-old Melissa. In the meantime, detectives and TV news announcers confirm the progress of the very real event: a disappearance, probably an abduction, possibly a murder.” —Asheville Citizen–Times
