Finding the front entryway opened, she slips into the kitchen, gets an apple off the counter and attempts to hide when twelve year old Dillon Cooper chooses to strike the fridge for some extra seared chicken. Cate runs aimlessly during the night until she staggers onto a homestead house with a light in the window sparkling like a signal, directing her to safety. She figures out how to escape by tying bed sheets to bring down herself from a two story window to drop the remainder of the way and take off going through the forested areas before her captors returned. Messed up because she’s more intelligent than her kidnappers, who grabbed her out of the tree where she planned to hide up in the round of hide-and-seek she and her cousins were playing at the life celebration of her late extraordinary granddad. Cate, as she is called by the family, is the victim of a messed up kidnapping. Hideaway is a wonderful novel! Nora Roberts has scored again with this latest release, a multi generational and lavishly layered family adventure highlighting Caitlyn Sullivan, as of now at age ten an accomplished actor in her own privilege with a presence and mind that is shocking at a particularly youthful age.
