Here and Gone by Haylen Beck

A woman on the run from an abusive husband is driving cross country with her two young children.
She gets pulled over in the middle of nowhere Arizona and the real nightmare begins. She watches her children taken away while she is helpless in a cop car and it gets much worse when later she asks where they are and receives the answer no one wants to hear... what children?. We tell our kids to respect authority and find someone in uniform if you need help but what if those same people are working not on your behalf but with your husband or a more sinister group? This is a one sitting, heart pounding, gut wrenching thriller that every mother will identify with. It will have you glancing over your shoulder for that sheriff's car for weeks to come.
