Whatever Happened to Janie?

Overview

No one ever paid attention to the faces of missing children on milk cartons. But as Janie Johnson glanced at the face of the little girl who had been taken twelve years ago, she recognized that little girl--it was herself.



The mystery of the kidnapping is unraveled, but the nightmare is not over. The Spring family wants justice, but who is to blame? It's difficult to figure out what's best for everyone.



Janie Johnson or Janie Spring? There's enough love for everyone, but how can the two separate families live happily ever after?
