Summary
A gripping, emotional book that asks the question: What does it take to be a parent? From the bestselling author of The Last Days of Us

In one split second, Aidan Whelan's perfect world is changed forever when his wife Rowan and three-year-old daughter Milly are involved in a tragic accident.

Helena O'Herlihy and her husband James have been struggling in their marriage but a knock on the door telling her that James has been involved in a car crash has Helena rushing to his side.

When Aidan and Helena bump into each other at Dublin City Hospital, they soon begin to wonder if it's more than just coincidence that brought them there. Why were Rowan and James in the car together on that fateful morning?

Through their pain and tears, they form a bond as they try to piece together what really happened on the morning of the crash.

As the lies begin to unravel and secrets are uncovered, can Aidan save what's left of his family and Helena her marriage?

An unforgettable, heartfelt story that will have you both crying and smiling. Ideal for fans of Amanda Prowse, Kate Hewitt, and Emma Robinson.
