A splintered childhood.
A family divided.
An ugly past resurfaces...
From birth, twins Cath and Rob are inseparable. When their mother dies, their bond deepens as their father hastily remarries a woman with a volatile temper whose sole focus is her own baby - Oliver - who arrives nine months later.
When, aged 48, Rob tragically dies, Cath's world begins to crumble. Her grief compounded further by Oliver's out-of-the-blue decision to attend Rob's funeral, opening old wounds after three decades of estrangement.
Thrown together, the half-siblings are forced to confront a past that sends shockwaves through both their lives due to the huge discrepancies in their respective recollections. But could both their versions of the truth be correct...?
Fans of Cathy Kelly and Joanna Trollope will adore Amanda Brookfield's rich and riveting dissection of relationships and family life the big consequences that arise from everyday actions...
