A profoundly moving and compelling literary mystery from the author of The Marriage Pact which will appeal to fans of Alice Sebold, Sophie Hannah and Jodi Picoult

Life changes in an instant. On a foggy beach in San Francisco, Abby Mason - photographer, fiancee, soon-to-be-stepmother - looks away from six-year-old Emma for an instant. By the time she looks back, Emma has disappeared.

Devastated by guilt, haunted by her fears about becoming a mother, Abby refuses to believe that Emma is dead. Now, as the days drag into weeks, as the police lose interest and fliers fade on telephone poles, Emma's father finds solace in religion. But Abby can only wander the beaches and city streets, attempting to recover the past and the little girl she lost.

Reviews for The Year of Fog

In this spare page-turner, Richmond draws complex tensions from a the set setup of a child gone missing...Wholly effective...beautifully paced Publishers Weekly A mesmerising novel of loss and grief, hope and redemption, and the endurance of love...like Jodi Picoult and Jacquelyn Mitchard. Highly recommended Library Journal, Starred Review What a wonderful novel! The lush prose kept me turning pages as surely as the compelling plot did. Suspenseful, richly imagined, and ultimately hopeful, The Year of Fog is a keeper. Michelle Richmond is a talent to watch. Joshilyn Jackson, author of GODS IN ALABAMA Richmond gracefully explores the nature of memory and perception in key passages that never slow the suspense of the search...this is a page-turner with a philosophical bent Booklist A gripping tale of a woman's search for her fiance's missing daughter People Magazine
