From the multimillion copy bestseller Amanda Prowse, the queen of heartbreak fiction.

I deserve all this because I did the worst thing a woman can do. The very worst.

Jessica's wedding was like a fairytale. Her dress strewn with crystals. Her dad made a tearful speech. Her husband Matthew declared himself the luckiest man alive.

But when their beautiful baby girl is born, Jessica is gripped by panic. She can't tell anyone how she feels. Even when her life starts to spiral out of control...

This is her story. A mother's story.

About the Author

Amanda Prowse is a multi-million bestselling author who has published more than thirty novels and is one of the most prolific writers of contemporary fiction in the UK today. Crowned β€˜the queen of family drama’ by the Daily Mail, she writes about life’s challengesβ€”from heartbreak and loss to dysfunctional family dynamicsβ€”but also about the pockets of delight that can be found in our relationships with others, often when we need them most. Amanda is known for her relatable characters, emotionally compelling plots, and the sense of connection that readers feel with her stories. She is an ambassador for The Reading Agency and feels passionately about supporting other women, spending as much time as possible outdoors (preferably by the sea!) and her family.
