Synopsis

The enthralling new novel from the 10-million-copy, No. 1 bestselling author

Janet Saunders never spoke about her past. Her daughters Alice and Susie always assumed this was because there was nothing to talk about. Until the day of their mother's funeral. A mysterious stranger turns up and reveals he is their real father. Shocked, the women listen as he tells them damaging stories about their mother. It is clear there is so much more to their past than Janet let on, and they decide to find out the whole truth about their family. This leads them to discoveries they never thought possible . . .
