About this item

A family in turmoil...

Phoebe Spencer left home a long time ago, desperate to get away from her mother's emotional manipulation. She knows her life is better away from her family, but she can’t help feeling she’s simply running away from her problems…

Then Phoebe hears that her younger sister Lucy has disappeared, leaving behind her four-year old daughter, Darcy. Phoebe's certain Lucy will be back soon - she'd never leave Darcy alone - and then Phoebe can get on with her life again.

But as the days pass there's still no sign of Lucy, and everyone begins to fear the worst. Phoebe has to consider the terrible truth that Lucy might never come home. And as their mother makes it clear she wants to take control of Darcy’s life, Phoebe must do all she can to protect the girl her sister left behind – no matter the cost to her.

What a horrible thing to do to a family. But to hear a perspective from survivors tells you just how much you were loved and why you should stick around. What a tear jerker. But then wouldn't we all say only if?

Interesting book if a bit slow at times. Not a real page-turner but I enjoyed reading this book. The first book I have read from this author.

Wonderful!

So many words comes to mind.
Anger, confusion, pity, unbelievable, sorrow, friendship, support, silence, sympathy , love, joy, sadness and acceptance. Difficult to read in spots. You never know what is going on in someone life.

This book brings to light how much one person can change the life of so many. We all deal with life in our own way even when it can seem wrong to so many.

Family Drama

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2024

A family drama book that I had a hard time putting down. Phoebe has a lot on her plate, dealing with her sister that vanished, a narcissistic mother and her sister's three year old daughter, Darcy. The story is heart breaking but kept me turning the pages. At times a bit slow and repetitive. You don't find out the truth of the missing sister until the end.

You Will Need Tissues For This Emotional Read

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2024

OMG!! OMG!! Elizabeth Carpenter just got herself a new fan!! The Girl On The News is the best ever missing person case book I have read to date (and I read a lot). This is a book that could be ripped from the headlines!! Not only that but it would be an amazing binge worthy show on Netflix! Oh I would love to see that happen. This is a must read that deserves way more than 5 stars!! Don’t take my word for it, find out for yourself! You will be so glad you did.

The cover graphics totally captured my attention as well as the title of the book. I just had to know more about this story!

Instantly, Elizabeth captured my attention and pulled hard on my heartstrings! I absolutely love when authors suck you in right away! I was literally glued to my Kindle and could not put it down til I knew what happened to the girls! You will need to clear your schedule for this one!

The Girl On The News is every family’s worst nightmares come true and then some! This story will have you wanting to hold your children a little tighter! Elizabeth’s storylines will have an effect on all of your emotions!

This book had some wicked twists and turns that will have you on the edge of your comfy chair! The secrets and their revelations will blow your mind!

Rosie is one of my favorite characters as she was incredibly strong throughout the book! So many times I wanted to jump in and give her a hug!

Elizabeth would like to dedicate this in memory of her friend Lou.
