Some people have a gift for making you feel okay, just by the fact of their presence.
What this book is about
quote from "The Year of Fog"
There is a girl, her name is Emma, she is walking on the beach. I look away. Seconds pass. I look back, and she is gone. I keep thinking about the seconds, the ever-expanding circle. How I set this chain of events in motion. How I must find some way to make amends...
"The Year of Fog" is the story of life, love, trust, believe, searches, anxieties, sense of guilt, hope and...memory. Memory is really important thing in life and also in this story, because every detail can change everything. Every detail, even the one unimportant is like a golden element creating the entire image as a small point, a small part of everything.
quote from "The Year of Fog"
We take pictures because we can't accept that everything passes, we can't accept that the repetition of a moment is an impossibility. We wage a monotonous war against our own impending deaths, against time that turns children into that other, lesser species: adults. We take pictures because we know we will forget. We will forget the week, the day, the hour. We will forget when we were happiest. We take pictures out of pride, a desire to have the best of ourselve preserved. We fear that we will die and others will not know we lived.
The story is about Abby Mason, her fiance Jake and his six-year-old daughter, Emma. Everything is wonderful, their life together, plans for the future but one day everything what they love, everything what they know, is breaking down in one second.
quote from "The Year of Fog"
Tragedy, in its full and life-altering form, happened to other people.
Their wonderful life is changing after Emma's missing in the fog on the beach above Pacific... Everything is going worse and worse with every next day of seeking missing girl and when everything is pointing to a tragic accident - drowning. Abby is the one person who still believes that Emma is still alive, somewhere there, maybe even far away from them, but she lives, and that's why she isn't stopping fighting. She fights with her memory to find every little detail from that bad, sad day, even after almost a year after going missing.
Problems are not only because of memories, feelings, sleepless nights and hope, but also because of Emma's biological mother.
Because of the story and writing style of Michelle Richmond, you can feel as Abby - you can feel her hopes, fights inside her mind, be a part of searching for the truth, sense of guilt and her reflections about relation between her and Jake, her parents, first boyfriend, Emma...
All the time we have questions with no answers:Where she is? Is she really dead? Or maybe she is alive? Maybe somebody kidnap her? What she, Abby Mason, did wrong? What will be with them, with their future?
And that weird couple who were that day on the car park near the beach.... A couple from the car park. Abby has a bad feeling that maybe they are a solution, maybe they know where Emma is or maybe she is with them. And that's why she finally leave everything and going to find them, Emma and return to their old life, when everyone gave up.
Will she find Emma? And what about her life with the man who she love, Jake, will they still be a couple?
Why you should read it
"The Year of Fog" shows us the story which could happen everyone because it's so realistic and so true. And maybe that's why you read it and read and you just can't stop because you want to know what will happen on the next page. And that's why this book is so amazing - you just want to read it because it's a huge pleasure.
Because of very interesting and scary story. Because all these feelings when you think, that it can be worse than is at this moment. All these thoughts and feelings when you are losing your strength and you want to give up. Because anxieties against the unknown enemy.

Things to look out for
What is happening with the man, when is losing everything, even hopes and faith. Is it possible to love somebody so much to dare and leave everything - own home, own life? What is happening when everyone are accusing you, even though perhaps you did nothing wrong?
The last word about the book
"The Year of Fog" is a hard and sad story, so you can forget about nice and happy time during reading this book. I am writing it not because the book is bad, but because the story isn't happy, sometimes even there's no hope for anything good for Abby, Jake and Emma. That's why in my opinion is book is brilliant and unique. I think it would be good if you will read this book in solitude to have time to think about the story and about own life.
