"Emma In The Night" was authored by Wendy Walker, an attorney specializing in family law. This is her second novel and she is quick to point out that Judy Martin, Emma and Cass' mother, bears no resemblance to Wendy's own mother.
Judy Martin has an undiagnosed narcissistic personality disorder which put her in competition with her 17-year-old daughter, Emma, and her 15 year-old-daughter, Cass, rendering her a totally unfit mother but everyone looking in from the outside does not see this. Well, not quite everyone --
Dr. Abby Winter, a forensic psychologist, is able to recognize the signs having had a mother like Judy.
When Cass and Emma disappear one night and Emma's abandoned car is found on a beach, the hunt is on to find the girls but they are never sighted again until Cass returns 3 years later with a story of where they have been and a need to look for her sister, Emma.
The search for Emma takes some unexpected turns but you'll have to read the novel to learn more about that. It is well done and I am ready to read Walker's previous book, ""All Is Not Forgotten." pazt
