It begins with the discovery of a tattered letter in the attic ... A heart-tugging story of family secrets by the Top 10 bestselling Australian author.

1959: Grace is a young mother with four children under four. All she ever wanted was to have a family of her own, but there are thoughts Grace cannot share with anyone in the months after childbirth.

When Grace falls pregnant again, she turns to her sister, Maryanne, for help.

1996: When Beth's father, Patrick, is diagnosed with dementia, she and her siblings make the heart-wrenching decision to put him into care. As Beth is clearing the family home, she discovers a series of notes.
