About this listen
What would you do if your lost child came back? An emotional family drama, perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Kate Hewitt and Susan Lewis.
She pouts, looking upset, and I want nothing more than to kiss her better and say 'All right then, yes. Perhaps he can come back, perhaps he will, perhaps he has!' But I can't. I know I can't lie to her about this...
The day we lost Josh, a part of me broke. He was only three-and-a-half years old. His twin, Ruby, suddenly an only child.
We thought we were doing as well as expected. But when Ruby comes to me and says she saw Josh – alive – I assume she's struggling more than we realised. It's her way of holding on. Of refusing to let go.
But then I see him too.
A boy with Josh's same pale blue eyes, the silvery-white hair that falls across his forehead in exactly the same way. It's more than a similarity. This boy could be Josh's twin.
How can that be possible?
I know I have to listen to my rational brain, that this must be my grief messing with my mind. But I can't let go of the feeling that something is going on. Who is this boy? And does someone know more than they're letting on?
A gripping, emotional book about loss, love and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child.
