The plot

The plot of "the face on the milk carton"

Janie Johnson is in high school. One day she sat in the cafeteria in her school, took her friend's milk and then flipped it over and found that the picture of the kidnapped child was her. After a few days she find in the addict the dress that she war in the picture on the milk carton and a trunk with the letter "H" on it. Then, Janie was so angry and so upset and demanded on her parents, frank and Miranda, to tell her the truth. They told her that they are her grand parents and Hannah is her mother that ran away to a cult a long time ago. Janie realized that Hannah is probably her kidnapper. Janie found an address of a family called Spring (the name on the milk carton was Jennie Spring) in New Jersey and their phone number. Reeve, Janie's boy friend, took her to new Jersey and found the home and discovered that the people in that home is all red haired, just like Janie. Reeve's sister Lizzie, is a lawyer and Reeve told her everything about Janie's kidnap. Lizzie told Janie's parents. Miranda Johnson decided to called the Spring and Janie had to talk to them. They answer and she said "Hello, I am your daughter, Janie".

The turning point in the story

In the last two pages in the book the turning point begins. Miranda Johnson, Janie's mother, called the Spring family. Janie took the phone and someone answered. She said "Hello, I am your daughter, Janie". That's how the story end.

I was very surprised because just in the very last pages the author started to write about Miranda's decision to call the Springs. It was not expected at all.
