Catherine wakes up one morning to find her husband gone. She checks his shoes .. no his running shoes are right where they always are. His car is still there, his keys are not missing. His wallet is on the dresser. Where is he and what has happened to him?

Twenty Five years later Simon appears on her doorstep. He has all the answers, and he knows it's time that Catherine had them, too.

But neither of them know the whole truth!

The story line is perfect. When Simon shows up, he confesses to all he's done in the past years. Every other chapter or so the reader hears Catherine's voice .. to learn how her life has turned out. And of course, the one question she wants answered ... Why?

I have to share with you .. I did not like Simon. I could not find any redeeming qualities. His total disregard of his family .. just disappearing. Did he never think about how they were .. were they eating... where were they living? It got worse with each story that Simon had to share.

The ending is stupendous. Never, ever had any inkling of what was coming. Excellent writing.

Revised edition: Previously published as The Wronged Sons, this edition of When You Disappeared includes editorial revisions.
