After his daughter's murder, a grieving father confronts God with desperate questions — and finds unexpected answers — in this riveting and deeply moving #1 NYT bestseller.

When Mackenzie Allen Phillips's youngest daughter, Missy, is abducted during a family vacation, he remains hopeful that she'll return home. However, he later discovers evidence suggesting she may have been brutally murdered in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness.

Four years later, in the midst of his great sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note supposedly from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgement, he arrives on a wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he discovers there will change his life forever.
