About this ebook

I watch for a moment, my heart explodes. This little girl, dressed in white, her face bright as she swirls and twirls, dancing in the sunshine. ‘Mummy!’ she says, running towards me. I catch her, no question. ‘Mummy, you’re here,’ she says.’ And I hold her tight.


Imagine you get home one day… and waiting for you on your doorstep is a gift.


It is wrapped beautifully, and inside is a notebook, its pages empty. There is no message.


But its sender has a story to tell.


About a secret. About the little girl you once were. About everything you know about your family.


The gifts keep arriving. But when tragedy strikes – leaving your beloved only daughter fighting for her life – the person who has been sending the gifts will have no choice but to come forward. And to finally tell the truth.


Even if it’s the very thing that will tear your family apart…


A heartbreakingly beautiful novel about motherhood, loss and family secrets, for fans of Kerry Fisher, Susan Lewis and Jodi Picoult.
