"Here is the truth, this is what I know: I was walking on the beach with Emma. It
was cold and very foggy. She let go of my hand. I stopped to photograph a baby
seal, then glanced up toward the Great Highway. When I looked back, she was
gone."

greatest error. Heartbreaking, uplifting, and beautifully told, it is a riveting tale

disappearance, and of one woman's unwavering faith in the redemptive power of
love.
