'I want to tell you a story, my beautiful child, of every magical thing I wish for you, my beautiful child. This is where it all begins...'
It all begins when Edie's daughter Lexie was born. A day when hope gleams like sunlight on mirror-flat water. Lexie's arrival makes Edie feel like her life is complete, and her love for her newborn daughter is immediate, like a force of nature.
Even though Edie's marriage to Ryan isn't perfect, Edie knows she can hold their family together, for Lexie and her brother.
However, life - in all its beautiful, messy glory - doesn't always follow the script. And by the time Lexie is a teenager, everything's changed, and she's moving as far away from her family as she possibly can.
But now Edie needs her back home, where it all began. Because - as everything in Edie's life changes - she realises her daughter Lexie might be the only person who can save her...
The most unforgettable story of the year - available now!
