Vanished—Old letters, discovered 50 years after World War II, prove that a young soldier who was reported Missing In Action was not MIA at all. What happened to him?
For those of us who were children during the Depression and World War II, Vanished brings back many memories. Janet Litherland takes us there with a skill that makes it seem easy. She never uses a long word when a short one will do, nor a paragraph when a simple sentence is enough. She knows Georgia and how her people think and speak, and the dialogue of her characters rings as true as the old courthouse clock. … Vanished skillfully blends this gentleness with the harsh reality of the OSS, the assassination of Italy’s brutal dictator Mussolini, and a mysterious disappearance, into an old-fashioned page-turner.

I’ve read many stories that fascinate and charm,
but rarely do I find one that lives and breathes with such believable
suspense. To merely hold my reader’s curiosity is never enough,
but to grip my heart with honest enchantment is a true joy.
