Dear Child by Romy Hausmann

When a woman is hit by a car with her daughter nearby, the authorities believe she could be Lena Beck, who went missing thirteen years ago. The daughter, Hannah, accompanies her mother to the hospital, and slowly the police realize that Hannah has lived her whole life away from the world, locked up along with her mother and younger brother, Jonathan. As both Hannah and the woman she refers to as her mother tell their story, there are more questions than answers, frustrating all involved--especially Lena's father, Matthias. Lena and Hannah might also still be in danger, even though a man believed to be Hannah's father was found dead in the cabin where they were kept. In Dear Child, author Hausmann keeps the reader guessing until the last pages are turned.
