Diane Chamberlain: The courage tree

Eight-year-old Sophie Donohue suffers from a rare disease requiring constant treatment, but she wants to be normal. Sophie's mother finally agrees to let her go on a camping trip, but when Sophie goes missing, a full-scale search is launched. Sophie finds refuge in a remote cabin inhabited by Zoe, a reclusive woman protecting her own daughter from the law--and Sophie's presence could ruin everything.

Initially, I didn't quite get into the story, but once I got part the first couple of chapters, I found it quite gripping. Diane Chamberlain is a good storyteller offering mysteries to be solved, but she can't quite compete with Jodi Picoult.
