A Father's Unimaginable Loss

Imagine receiving a note in your mailbox, seemingly from God, inviting you to return to the abandoned shack where evidence of your daughter's murder was found. This is the reality Mackenzie Allen Phillips faces one freezing March day, three and a half years after his youngest daughter Missy was abducted during a family camping trip. The note is signed "Papa" - his wife Nan's affectionate name for God. Is it a cruel prank? A trap set by the killer? Or could it possibly be genuine? Despite his skepticism, Mack feels compelled to return to the scene of his deepest trauma, the place where investigators found Missy's blood-soaked red dress but never recovered her body. The abduction happened during a split second of chaos when Mack was rescuing his son from a canoeing accident. In the aftermath, his family fractured in their grief. Kate, Missy's sister, retreated behind emotional walls. Josh found distractions in his senior year activities. Mack and Nan weathered the storm together, though Mack carried overwhelming guilt. What Young captures so powerfully is how tragedy doesn't just create grief - it creates a shadow that follows you everywhere, what Mack calls "The Great Sadness," an invisible quilt of despair draped permanently around his shoulders.
