The Disappearance of Mari Mitchell
In 1982, fifteen-year-old Mariann Mitchell vanishes without a trace while walking home from school in the quiet town of Willow Creek. Taken by an unknown captor and locked away in a decrepit, hidden location, Mari's once-ordinary life spirals into a harrowing battle for survival. Cut off from the outside world, she must summon every ounce of strength, resilience, and wit to endure her imprisonment-and hold onto the hope that one day she might escape.
Back home, her mother, Eleanor Mitchell, refuses to believe the worst. Despite years of dead ends and growing doubt from everyone around her, Eleanor's unwavering faith that Mari is still alive becomes her driving force. While the world moves on, Eleanor clings to fragments of evidence and intuition, desperately searching for her daughter and holding onto hope against all odds.
As the years pass, Mari's captor grows more unpredictable, and the window for her escape narrows. The story weaves through her years in captivity, her moments of defiance, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and daughter that refuses to fade-even as decades separate them.
Set against the backdrop of a world without modern technology, The Disappearance of Mari Mitchell is a gripping tale of resilience, survival, and the enduring power of hope. Will Mari find her way back to the life she was torn from, or will the darkness of her captivity consume her forever?
