Items related to Vanished
Aubrey Wallace is the kind of man no one notices. Dotty Johnson is the kind of woman no one can ingore. One afternoon, they both disappear from the small Vermont town where they live. The next day, two hundred miles away, a toddler is snatched from her Massachusetts home.
For the next five years, Aubrey, Dotty, and the kidnapped child—bound together by strange love and desperate need—are trapped in a nomadic existence governed by their constant fear of discovery. Canny, the little girl, becomes Aubrey's entire existence. But Dotty wants out. She is tired of being saddled with this fearful little man. When she meets Jiggy Huller, a brutal ex-convict, the wheels of Canny's return to her natural parents are wrenched fatally into motion.

From AudioFile:
On the web: http://www.marymcgarrymorris.com
After Oprah selected Mary McGarry Morris's SONGS IN ORDINARY TIME for her book club, Morris's early novel, VANISHED, was reissued. A young woman named Dotty appears out of nowhere, picks up the hapless and seemingly helpless Aubrey Wallace, kidnaps (for no clear reason) an unrelated baby girl, and drags them both on a sad, drug-soaked odyssey. Dotty is soon ready to abandon the odd family she herself has created, but Wallace and the girl won't be easy to shake. Kimberley Schraf's narrative voice has a suitably gritty hard edge. But she strains when she vocalizes some of the characters, ending up with a colorless monotone for Wallace and a false, high-pitched stereotype of a child. S.P. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine
