Synopsis

'Utterly compelling and completely heart-breaking. I couldn't put it down' Ruth Hogan

'Compelling and moving . . . it made me cry' Marian Keyes

Audrey's family has fallen apart. Her two grown-up daughters, Jess and Lily, are estranged, and her two teenage granddaughters have never been allowed to meet. A secret that echoes back thirty years has splintered the family in two, but is also the one thing keeping them connected.

As tensions reach breaking point, the irrevocable choice that one of them made all those years ago is about to surface. After years of secrets and silence, how can one broken family find their way back to each other?

A life-affirming novel with a twist that will break your heart and an ending that will put it together again.
