Winner of the Ngaio Marsh Award for Best Novel

They never found Leah Parata. Not a boot, not a backpack, not a turquoise beanie. After she left me that day, she vanished off the face of the earth.

A close-knit community is ripped apart by disturbing revelations that cast new light on a young woman's disappearance twenty-five years ago.

After years of living overseas, Emily Kirkland returns to New Zealand to care for her father, Felix, who suffers from dementia. As his memory fades and his guard slips, she begins to understand him for the first time—and to glimpse shattering truths about his past. Truths she'd rather were kept buried.

'An atmospheric and emotional tale of family, mystery and love ... an extraordinarily talented storyteller.' Kelly Rimmer, bestselling author of The Warsaw Orphan

'Beautifully observed ... a moving and memorable read.' The Sydney Morning Herald

'A stunning mystery; an astounding piece of work.' Ngaio Marsh Awards Judges

'... gritty, gripping, suspenseful and heartfelt.' Nicky Pellegrino, NZ Woman's Weekly

After several years' travel she became a barrister, specialising in crime and family law in the northeast of England.

In 2002, realising that her three children had barely met her, she took a break from the law and moved with her family to Aotearoa New Zealand. Her first novel, Freeing Grace, was published in 2010. Second Chances (After the Fall) was a Richard and Judy Book Club choice and World Book Night title.
