What if everything you believed about yourself was totally wrong?
For David Byrdsong, life is a series of daily obligations. An attorney, he lacks both ambition and the ability to commit to a long-term relationship with his girlfriend, Gayle. Abandoned by his family at an airport when he was eleven, he learned to blunt his feelings, despite his subsequent adoption by a loving couple.
Until one day, when David discovers his own face in a missing child ad. Suddenly driven to uncover the truth about his past, he is forced to tap into his inner strength as he encounters corporate conspiracies, murdered bystanders, and distressing suspicions about the only family he’s ever really trusted. David enlists Gayle’s help-and the help of an unlikely stranger with secrets of his own-as he attempts to find his true family, whoever they are.
Thrilling, exploratory, and propulsive, Have You Seen Him is a story of lost identity, dangerous secrets, and a deeply personal pursuit of the truth.
After seeing his childhood face on a missing person advertisement, a man seeks answers about his past.
Author Kimberly Lee details David’s efforts to uncover his identity in Have You Seen Him. His quest, however, leads to danger.
As an attorney, David’s life is relatively mundane. His girlfriend, Gayle, is a teacher. While they seem to have a good relationship, David’s tendency to always be late sticks out as an unusual character trait. Finding the ad causes him to spiral and question his identity.
The introduction of other characters seemingly unrelated to the primary storyline is distracting at first and slows down the action. While it picks up as the story progresses, a more intentional approach would have helped.
The secret embedded in David’s proves interesting, but the journey to uncover it needs fewer zigzags.
Have You Seen Him highlights a man’s efforts to regain his identity.
