In one moment, Claire Rawlings was a superwoman – a wife, a mother of 2 lovely girls and a medical resident. A shattering twist of fate deprived her of all those.
On her way to drop off her daughters to daycare, she was nauseous. She pulls into a gas station, runs to the bathroom and passes out. When she wakes up minutes later, her car—and her daughters—are gone.
“Life is made of moments and little decisions,” is quoted so often that no one really knows who said it first. Perhaps, it is because this has always been the case since time immemorial. Nobody wakes up and says, “I am going to make big decisions today.” Everyone wakes up making small decisions for the day. One decides to brush his/her teeth, wash his/her face and decide what to wear. In the course of the day, with these many small decisions for those many moments sometimes end up to a life changing event.
That was what happened to Claire Rawlings that fateful day. A small decision resulted to tragedy that changed her whole life.

Description: Little Lovely Things
“A shattering adventure.” — Jacquelyn Mitchard, bestselling author of The Deep End of the Ocean
If only things had been different It is the wrong time to get sick. Speeding down the highway on the way to work, her two little girls sleeping in the back seat, medical resident Claire Rawlings doesn’t have time for the nausea overtaking her. But as the world tilts sideways, she pulls into a gas station, runs to the bathroom, and passes out. When she wakes up minutes later, her car—and her daughters—are gone. The police have no leads, and the weight of guilt presses down on Claire as each hour passes with no trace of her girls. All she has to hold on to are her strained marriage, a potentially unreliable witness who emerges days later, and the desperate but unquenchable belief that her daughters are out there somewhere. As hopeful and uplifting as it is devastating, Little Lovely Things is the story of a family shattered by unthinkable tragedy, and the unexpected intersection of heartbreak and hope.
