“Kept me frantically turning the pages and somehow made me cry at the end . . . Brava!”—Kristin Hannah, author of The Women
“Melds tense suspense with a powerful exploration of devotion, obsession, and love.”—People (Best New Books)
1975 is a time of change in America. The Vietnam War is ending. Muhammad Ali is fighting Joe Frazier. And in the smalltown of Monta Clare, Missouri, girls are disappearing.
When the daughter of a wealthy family is targeted, the most unlikely hero emerges—Patch, a local boy, who saves the girl, and, in doing so, leaves heartache in his wake.
Patch and those who love him soon discover that the line between triumph and tragedy has never been finer. And that their search for answers will lead them to truths that could mean losing one another.
A missing person mystery, a serial killer thriller, a love story, a unique twist on each, Chris Whitaker has written a novel about what lurks in the shadows of obsession and the blinding light of hope.

Patch Stays With You
5By WeathertxPatch is a character that lives long after you’ve finished the book.A Story That Stays With You
5By btowneI’m honestly speechless. The way the author weaves the story of Patch and Saint is pure genius—full of unexpected twists that kept me hooked from start to finish. There’s so much sadness, but also the discovery of love and the thread of hope that carries the characters forward. It’s one of those books I’m truly sad to finish. This one will stay with me for a long time—I loved it.Beautiful Read
5By IfuvtoluckThis was an absolute joy to read.Devastating and Beautiful
5By Jimminy crick3tThis book will knock your socks off. So many twists and turns, so intense that I would have to stop reading for a while to come up for air. It brought me to tears at one point and made me furious at another. Not for the faint of heart and probably should have a trigger warning, but an excellent read.Great read
5By steph_raeI was very leery at first. It seemed so slow and packed with too many random details. I am so glad I stuck with it. This was a great book and all the seemingly pointless details have points.Twists and turns

5By Word play frenzyWhat an enchanting book. The characters are rich and offer pieces of themselves throughout the book. We root for them as this story unfolds with so many incredible layers. At its heart is a love story and a story of survival like I’ve never read before.Title

2By AmoB53I liked the way the characters were brought to life but I didn’t like the way others were terminated. I was very disappointed with who it glorified in the end. And a friendship that was taken advantage of for decades. I dunno, didn’t sit well with me.One of the Best
