What I'm about to say is going to blow our lives apart. But there's nothing else for it. I've tried so hard to keep it from you, not wanting to cause you pain. But I can't hide it any longer. You deserve the truth. But I don't know if there's any coming back from this. And I'm terrified you won't ever forgive me...
There's nothing as strong as a mother's love. As I watch my youngest daughter stride into her new life as a student, a sob catches in my throat. It feels like only yesterday that my two precious girls were playing together without a care in the world. I sacrificed so much to give them the life they deserved and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
Looking at my husband Robert, tears in his eyes, I realise just how far we've come. Our daughters have flown the nest and now it's time to re-kindle our own flame. So, when our long-lost friend Lucy invites us to her Spanish villa, I jump at the chance.
But when we arrive, instead of it being a romantic break, Robert begins to pull away from me. His conversation is muted, he goes for long walks on the beach alone and then I find a crumpled note on the bedside table and Robert has vanished.
In that moment, my entire world shatters. My husband has been keeping a devastating secret from me. But in order to find out just how much it will destroy our family, I will have to reveal something that I too have kept hidden. And once my own secret is out, will my family ever forgive me for what I did?
A totally unputdownable and heart-wrenching read about family secrets and how far we will go to protect those we love the most. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty and Diane Chamberlain.
