Emily Gone eBook Bette Lee Crosby Reviews
- Bette Lee Crosby has outdone herself with this awesome, heartfelt, loving, heartbreaking, beautiful book.
It’s the story of a loss so great you won’t be able to read without many tears. I mean big ugly faced tears. How to you deal with waking up to an empty crib. A baby gone. You don’t have a clue what happened or where that baby is. If it’s being loved or hurt. That is exactly what happened to Rachel and George Dixon. They put their baby girl down for the night and went to bed like always. They had been awake for a couple of nights because of a concert so close that it was impossible to sleep. But this night they slept. What they found the next morning changed their lives forever.
This book will bring you so many tears. From the start to the very end you will keep turning pages to find out what happened to Emily. Will they ever find her and is she being cared for. Rachel prays that whoever kidnapped Emily is kind and loving. Is the kind of mother she is.
This book is so well written you feel all the heartache all the sadness and longing. You feel the loud music in your chest as if you was there. You will shed many many tears while unable to put this book down. It’s a bit different from most of Bette’s books. I think it just may be the very best so far. The characters are all so likable believe it or not. I could not find fault with any. Pity, sadness, heartbreak yes, but no dislike at all. My heart broke for all the mothers in this story of such great loss. There were a few tiny stories within this one about other women who had lost babies and were grieving. It’s one that will stay with you for a long long time.
I honestly loved this book with all the tears and joy. It’s full of love and happiness and so many tears. A book that all mothers should read.
Thank you to NetGalley and Lake Union publishers for the ARC of this book. I also bought it too. I highly recommend it.
A HUGE 5 STARS..... From the very first word to the last period!! - I have loved all of Bette's books but this has now become my favorite. Her books are always full of wonderful and interesting characters, so much love, and so much wisdom. Emily, Gone will pull at your heart strings and make you feel all the feels. A mother's love is so, so strong. And in Emily, Gone one mother's love never forgets and another mother's love causes heartache and tears.
I loved how Bette transported me back in time to the 1970s—a time of peace and love. But that peace is shattered for Rachel when she finds her little baby missing from her crib. And will Vicki's actions give her the peace she is looking for after the loss of her own baby?
This was such a sad, but heartwarming story, a story that brought tears a few times. But at the same time, it was an uplifting story—such an amazingly beautiful story. And one that will stay with me for a long time.
I always recommend Bette's books—she is such a wonderful storyteller. Emily, Gone is definitely one you need to read! - Losing a child is devastating for a parent. When Rachel Dixon's baby girl was kidnapped from her crib, heartbreaking does not even begin to describe the feelings.
A roller coaster of emotions as a marriage is tested, life goes on and a baby is never forgotten. A story of grief and healing. Tugging at my heartstrings as I kept reading.
This was an intense book that captivated me from start to finish.
Keep tissues close by for those tears.

I just sat there crying on the couch, good thing I didn’t read it at work. Thank you for another fantastic book Bette Lee Crosby.
- When Rachel woke to find her baby’s crib empty, she screamed a scream that echoed for 18 years. She prayed daily that her baby girl was cared for and loved. The kidnapper died an early death and her sister raised the baby as her own, loving & caring as Rachel had prayed. A broken down car brings the families together and they searched for the truth.
