Superhero in Superior S J Bradley

Nora Hill is a woman who likes to keep the people in her life at arm's reach both from her and from each other. Her family knows nothing about her literary agent. Her literary agent, Connie, thinks she's an orphan. And no one knows about her friendship with Jack Terrell and his daughter, Sam. Keeping them separated makes Nora's life less complicated. Living life with face blindness and an unwanted, yet undeniable, ability to locate at-risk missing children is enough for Nora to manage. All she wants to do is prove to her mother that Lake Superior is not too cold for swimming. But, when Nora loses her cell phone she sets into motion a chain of events that sends these separate segments of her life crashing into each other. Suddenly, everyone in her life has questions only she can answer. Under strict orders to stay in Superior, Wisconsin until Connie can ship a new phone to her, Nora wants to pass the time as anonymously as possible. That hope is shattered the minute she checks into her hotel and she realizes she's meant to use her ability to find Jamison Thatcher, a young boy who recently removed from his home when school officials discovered bruises on his body and accused his parents of abuse. One problem: Jamison Thatcher is not missing. He's on TV, he's at restaurants, he's everywhere. It's a long holiday weekend and while Nora tries to unravel the mystery of a missing child who isn't missing and clear the good name of Jamison's parents, she accidentally uncovers a secret about her own past. While she'd prefer to stay in Superior and never face what's lurking in the deep recesses of her locked memories, Nora knows she has to move forward and keep searching for the truth.
