Danielle never gives up hope of finding her son, and senses that he still lives. Do you think parents have a sixth sense about the well-being of their children?

I do. When my son was living in England I always woke up in the morning with some foreboding if I sensed he was having a rough time and he would be in my thoughts all day. Inevitably, he would call or Skype soon after to talk about a problem he was having

I absolutely believe parents have a sixth sense about their children. As a mother, I have sensed things with all three of my children. I just think the connection is so strong between a mother and a son/daughter that it is inevitable.

This is a hard question for me to answer. My instinct is to say no but I don't have children so I can't really say. This instinct is one of the problems I had with the book. I felt that Danielle's instinct about Nicky was purely a plot device to keep us thinking about him. But given the responses of the others who are probably mothers, I may need to rethink my position.

Definitely I do. I also think that the author used this sixth sense thru out the book to foreshadow turns and twists in the plot, leading the reader along and leaving them wanting to see what was going to happen down the road to Nicky.

I have no experience as a mother but that part of the story (unlike other aspects) did not feel far-fetched or unbelievable. Maybe that was because the author let us know as readers that Nicky was, in fact, alive and we all knew that it was only a matter of time before this mother and son were reunited.
