Lauren has always known she was adopted but when a little research turns up the possibility that she was snatched from an American family as a baby, suddenly Lauren’s life seems like a sham. How can she find her biological parents? And are her adoptive parents really responsible for kidnapping her? She manages to persuade her family to take a trip across the Atlantic where she runs away to try and find the truth. But the circumstances of her disappearance are murky and Lauren’s kidnappers are still at large and willing to do anything to keep her silent… Curious about her birth parents, 14-year-old Lauren Matthews goes on Missing-Children.com and finds a US American girl named Martha Lauren Purditt who went missing less than two months before Lauren was adopted; she becomes suspicious that she is Martha. A few days later, she finds a diary containing details about her adoption and the name Sonia Holtwood.

Lauren moves in with her two sisters, Shelby and Madison Purditt, but has trouble fitting in with the rest of the family. She begins receiving threatening text messages telling her to "keep quiet or die." At first, she believes Shelby is the one sending them, but it turns out to be Sonia Holtwood. Finally, Holtwood sends Lauren a text saying her sister will die unless she goes to Sam's boat, the Josephine May. There, she finds Madison gagged and Sonia with a paid criminal, Frank. Jam appears as the boat starts to sink with everyone still trapped inside. Jam rescues them, but Madison is unconscious. Cousins Ellen and Harlan have been forced to go on a family camping trip – the worst timing ever, because they’re in a huge fight.Hoping some time together away from everything will help, Lauren’s birth mother takes her and her two sisters on holiday, only for tragedy to strike again when one of Lauren’s sisters disappears, under circumstances very similar to those in which Lauren was taken years before. . . perhaps too similar to be a coincidence.
