Alice was alive, had a family, friends. Then one day she disappeared. The police searched for her body. Her husband went to jail for her disappearance. But no one ever found her.

Her son, Trace must pick up the pieces of his life. As he seeks relationships with women who could fill the hole his mother left, a web of lies and control begins to form.

Some people vanish.

Others leave something behind.

When Alice disappears, the silence around her isn’t empty—it’s charged. Trace remembers her. Paul, her husband struggles to fill the void she left. And beneath it all, something unfolds. A quiet storm that refuses to be ignored.

But not even her skills can prepare her for the truth—or the danger this case will put her in. The case isn’t finished. And Trace and Paul’s past refuses to stay buried. Alice’s absence feels deliberate. Personal. As if someone wants her to be forgotten… and failed.

Follow Samantha Leary into the darkest corners of the human mind as she pursues a story of one young man’s obsession to create the family he always wanted—regardless of what he has to do in order to create it.

Alice Was Here pulls Samantha into a quiet unraveling where memory, guilt, and truth refuse to stay in their assigned places. What happened to Alice isn’t just a mystery—it’s a reckoning.
