The two women stick together and become good friends. One day in a park Molly confesses her past to Sarah, and it only brings them closer. Soon they are sharing life's struggles and evening out the weight of being single mothers. Is this the beginning of a lifelong friendship? It sure looked like it.

Sarah Hartley was a single, working-class mother, raising her son, Tommy, happily, working in a bakery, and saving change to take her son south on vacation. That was eight years ago, before she met a deranged serial killer and kidnapper. After Sarah came to discover that the woman she thought was her friend, who was living under her roof, caring for her son, was not who she said she was, Sarah fought for her life and saved her son and young Leif from being taken by Tamara Klein, a deranged, mentally-ill kidnapper and serial killer who was posing as a suburban single-mom, Molly Johnson. Five years later, Molly has taken Tommy and Leif from Sarah, the man Sarah thought that she loved was actually Molly's husband, and Sarah's world falls apart. Sarah has been hospitalized for the past three years. Despite the best efforts of Officer Alex Bradley and the Port Orchard, Washington police, Molly, Noah, Tommy, and Leif have seemingly disappeared without a trace. Sarah is in a state of near catatonia and complete dissociation, completely broken by having everything she ever loved violently ripped out from underneath her. One day, she receives a letter that completely snaps her out of her catatonic state. Molly is now using the name Marcia, and is raising Tommy and Leif somewhere in suburbia under the name of Marcia. With nothing to lose, Sarah convinces her doctors that she has finally recovered.
