The only sadness in her life is a fall-out with her sister Diane, who hasn’t spoken to her in over ten years. But now Diane is on her doorstep – and this time, she’s got her teenage daughter Mia in tow.

When Diane asks if Mia can stay with Hannah and Mark for a few days, Hannah is glad of the chance to get to know her niece. But as the days turn into weeks and Diane doesn’t return, Hannah begins to worry. Why hasn’t her sister been in touch?

Diane is carrying a devastating secret that will destroy Hannah’s carefully constructed life. But how much is she willing to reveal – and when will she pick her moment?

An emotional story that delves into the true meaning of family, sisterhood and secrets. Perfect for fans of Kerry Fisher and Adele Parks.

Claire's Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is the story of two sisters, Hannah and Diane. Hannah is an author and happily married. She hasn't spoken to her sister Diane for over ten years, when she appears on her doorstep with her daughter Mia, needing help. Diane wants Mia to stay with Hannah for a few days until she gets her life sorted out and even though they haven't spoken for a long time, Hannah is desperate to connect with her niece and so agrees. When Diane doesn't appear back after a week, secrets begin to unravel...

Wow, this book was a shocker for me. I didn't expect it to pull quite so much at the heartstrings as it did, and I must admit I did shed the odd tear. The story flows nicely, although is a little slow in parts. The characters are well developed and are flawed and relatable.

A perfectly executed story and a great read.
