Standing beside Elise's grave, Siobhan Montrell remembers how her mother finally blew the perfect smoke ring on the day that Elise disappeared. Remembers the day that would change and define her life forever.
The toddler's body was found in the river near Gables Guesthouse. Only eleven years old at the time, Siobhan has carried the guilt of Elise's death with her since that day.
Twenty-eight years later, Siobhan returns to Rachley Island, having inherited Gables - guesthouse and family home - from her aunt. Cleaning the property to prepare it for sale, she discovers an old book in which her aunt used to draw and write, revealing the truth about the tragic drowning.
The River Child is a tale of grief and guilt, deceit and secrets, and ultimately forgiveness.
