What happens in the woods, stays in the woods...

Carey is keeping a terrible secret.

If she tells, it could destroy her future.

If she doesn't, will she ever be free?

For almost as long as she can remember, Carey has lived in a camper van in the heart of the woods with her drug-addicted mother and six-year-old sister, Jenessa. Her mother routinely disappears for weeks at a time, leaving the girls to cope alone. Survival is Carey's only priority - until strangers arrive and everything changes . . .

Carey is a strong, resilient, loving and earnest character who is flawed but determined to find light in the darkness - a magnificently human heroine for modern readers.

Jenny Downham, author of Before I Die, says that If You Find Me is "a beautiful book about survival, identity, family, love and so much more."
