""A moving and compelling tale exploring the heartbreak one impulsive lie can cause, breaking apart a family. Deft and confident, this book has it all: emotive and gripping in equal measure. Had to stop myself gulping it down in one go!"" Louise Mumford
An accident and a terrible lie by sixteen-year-old Angie tears her family apart and her younger sister, Lisa, being sent away. They don't speak for thirteen years, until their mother's death brings them together. Lisa quickly realises her sister is trapped in a dangerous marriage.
What does Lisa owe to the family that betrayed her? And if she tries to help, will she make things more dangerous for them all?
A powerful story of domestic violence, courage and forgiveness.
"Emotional, thought-provoking and highly recommended." Jan Baynham
"A masterclass in blending family dynamic - grief, empathy and blame mix into a glorious emotional canvas." Phil Rowlands
