Six years later, her parents Rachel and Dan still tirelessly scour their Oregon hometown and beyond, always believing Lauren will be found. Then one day, the call comes. Lauren has been rescued from a secluded farm mere miles away, and her abductor has confessed. Yet her return is nothing like Rachel imagined. Though the revelations about what Lauren endured are shocking, most heartbreaking of all is to see the bright-eyed, assertive daughter she knew transformed into a wary, polite stranger. Lauren's first instinct is to flee. For years she's been told her parents forgot her;now she doubts the pieces of her life can ever fit together again. But Rachel refuses to lose her a second time. Little by little they must relearn what it means to be a family, trusting that their bond is strong enough to guide them back to each other. Intensely moving and absorbing, this is an extraordinary story told with sensitivity and grace, and filled with the depth and breadth of a mother's love. Praise for Rosalind Noonan "Noonan has a knack for page-turners and doesn't disappoint." -- Publishers Weekly on All She Ever Wanted "The author once again takes on an emotional topic with great sensitivity." -- Booklist on The Daughter She Used to Be "Reminiscent of Jodi Picoult's kind of tale. . .it's a keeper!" -- New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson on One September Morning Review: Amazing wonderful book. - This was my first book by this author and I loved it. It was a wonderfully written book about overcoming heartache, shame and the humiliation of things totally out of your control. How can a person endure what this girl did and not be bitter and mad at the whole world. I could not put this book down. I stayed up long hours just waiting to get to the next page, the next chapter.... The ending. Best book I read in a long time. Review: Good read, some flaws - I liked this book. The story line was very interesting and I liked the unique types of therapy that were used. However, there were a few flaws. Overall, it was a good read. The book starts off with eleven year old Lauren walking home from school. This is a new privilege that she has recently been awarded. Suddenly, she is abducted by a man dressed as a delivery man and is brought on a long hike to a compound where she is held for six years. Once she is captured, her parents and teenaged sister Sierra are elated and cannot wait for her to assimilate back into the family. However, being away for so many years, along with the brainwashing that her abductor, Kevin, subjects her to, complicates things for Lauren, and she has a hard time reattaching to the family that she was pulled away from years ago. Her parents try hard to reconnect with her and eventually the family enrolls in a horse therapy program. We find out that Lauren had given birth to a daughter a few years earlier, who she named MacKenzie (Mac for short), but the child became sick, and Kevin told her that Mac had died in the hospital. Lauren obviously experiences pain due to this loss, and her experiences with Mac give insight into life in the compound. As the story progresses, Lauren is shown becoming more and more comfortable with the world and her surroundings, and is starting to have increasingly normal relationships and feelings. Overall, this was an interesting read. However, there were a few inconsistencies. I felt that Sierra's personality was fun, but somewhat contradictory at times. It seemed natural for her to be jealous of the attention Lauren received, however at times it seemed like she wished she was the one who had gone through the experience. It was just hard to get a clear picture of how she was feeling or why she was acting the way she did, because it lacked consistency. There were a few minor mix-ups and grammatical errors, but they were easy to overlook. Lastly, I felt the ending was a bit predictable, but there were a few twists that I liked. I definitely did enjoy this book! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #408,654 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #3,034 in Psychological Fiction (Kindle Store) #4,580 in Family Relationship (Books) #6,052 in Psychological Thrillers (Books) | ## Images ![And Then She Was Gone - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91-TRR2edsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing wonderful book. *by M***Y on May 2, 2015* This was my first book by this author and I loved it.

Don't expect chases and action stunts, but more emotions and self discovery *by E***A on July 10, 2015* I like the setting and the development of the book. The letdown were the secondary chacarteres such as Paula that seems to have a great impact and contribution to the history and in the end...are is left aside. Other than that, there were some good twists around the character Mac. I would recommend the read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/104304490-and-then-she-was-gone](https://www.desertcart.in/products/104304490-and-then-she-was-gone) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
