About the Book

Raised in a Cairo orphanage and later adopted by one of the city’s most powerful families, Sheryl Andrews dares to dream of privilege and belonging.

Then, one day, she disappears.

Miles away in India, Yasmeen lives a carefully controlled life as a UNICEF professional, building walls around herself. Until she is assigned to work with Fahad Bashar, a brilliant, charismatic advertising executive who is as compelling as he is unsettling. Because he’s about to open a Pandora’s box Yasmeen has spent years keeping shut.

As past and present begin to collide, questions claw their way to the surface—Where did Sheryl Andrews go? And what truth is powerful enough to shake Yasmeen’s carefully constructed world?

The Woman Who Disappeared is a gripping tale of secrets, identity, and the haunting cost of a past that refuses to let go.
