About this listen

The BRAND NEW gripping, emotionally devastating family drama, from Sheila Norton. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult.

A year ago, I kissed my three-year-old goodbye before a work trip and promised I’d be home before she knew it.

I wasn’t.

When I went missing, everyone searched for me but eventually they had to admit the worst: that I was dead.

And maybe the woman I was did die.

Because now I’m back, finally home after surviving the unthinkable, and nothing fits anymore. My family looks at me differently. They listen to my story, what I’ve been through – and I can tell they don’t quite believe it.

Because the truth sounds impossible. Even to me.

And then there’s Phoebe. Who looks up at me with those eyes that mean the world, and sees… a stranger.

Will life ever be the same? Can I be the mother my daughter needs after so long away? And after everything I’ve been through, can anyone ever trust me again?

A gripping, emotionally powerful novel about the unbreakable bond between mother and child. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult.
