Anna’s parents had always been rather protective of her, and she'd never made any long lasting friendships because they moved around so much for her father's job. They finally seemed to be settling down in this new town, where they'd been for the past year. She was finally able to go to a real school after being home-schooled. Now she wanted to get her very first after school job, much to her parents' wariness. Anna gets a job at Bargain-Mart and meets the miserable and surly shift manager, David. At first she dislikes him, but becomes very sympathetic when she hears his story. David was once married, with a child. His wife died when his daughter was 6 months old. When his daughter was 3, he turned away for a moment while shopping, to help an old lady reach something off a high shelf. He turned back to find the shopping cart seat empty. His daughter was never found, and he sunk into a deep depression, lost his job and his home, and had to move across the country to live with his sister. Curious, Anna does some research online, she finds a picture of what his daughter is estimated to look like now…a little bit like her. Then she reads the name of the girl, “Tanya Black”, and a very distant memory stirs. She remembers introducing herself to people as “Tanya” when she was very young, only to be corrected by her parents, and then they would suddenly have to move. And then Anna realised, SHE was Tanya. SHE was David’s kidnapped daughter!
