‘I was hooked from page one. Be prepared to laugh and cry throughout this book!’ Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘A fabulous family drama…it kept me turning the pages from beginning to end’ – Kerry Fisher, the bestselling author of The Silent Wife

You can run from a lie, but you can’t hide from the truth…

Bonnie has been running from her tragic past for far too long. Now, years after the events that changed her life forever, the time has come to face it. Her search for answers takes her to the idyllic town of Hamblin, where she is determined to start over.

Alice’s perfect life is slipping through her fingers. Drowning in debt, she struggles on, working long days alongside her daughter Laura, ever more desperate to hold on to what little remains.

Laura had her future as an artist snatched from her when she had to return home to care for her sickly father. Whilst she tries hard to be content with her life, each day her resentment grows.

When their worlds collide, Laura and Bonnie form an instant bond. But as they grow closer, Alice begins to grow suspicious of Bonnie’s intentions. Why is she so interested in Alice’s daughter? And what devastating truth is she hiding?

A gripping and uplifting page-turner about buried pasts and the price we pay for those we love. Perfect for fans of Claire Amarti and Jodi Picoult.
