Until I Find You by Rea Frey was released on August 11 by St. Martin’s Press. It is an emotional, poignant novel written in the points of view of Rebecca—a nearly-blind woman, a recent widow, and a new mother—and that of Crystal, a friend of Rebecca’s who lives nearby. Crystal is also a recent widow but is dealing with a child prodigy of a ten-year-old daughter.
Rebecca is exhausted from trying to survive without her considerate husband who helped her navigate her world as she loses more and more of her vision. Raising a baby while seeing is difficult, but while blind infinitely more so. She’s felt for several weeks that she’s being followed, that things in her house are being rearranged, that doors she knows she locked are unlocked, but she and everyone else in her life attribute her paranoia to fatigue. But one day, she faints in the park. Friends take her home and watch her baby while Bec gets some rest. When she awakens, she knows the baby in her arms isn’t her son. The police seem more interested in maintaining the pretense that their community is free of crime rather than helping Bec.
In Until I Find You, Frey pulls the reader through every emotion Bec has: confusion, paranoia, grief, love for her child, and the horror she experiences when she realizes the baby she’s holding isn’t hers. She suspects everyone, and the plot twists keep the reader guessing until the end.
