'What a heart-breaking story!... The tissues came out, then they were put back away only for them to be taken back out again! Had me gripped from the first page. A book that will make you want to hug your children and never let them go... Have tissues to hand!' Stardust Book Reviews

My baby girl, I'll never forget you - your smile, your laugh, the way your hair sparkles in the sun. I cannot comprehend this pain. I cannot breathe through it.

For Claire, life as she knows it is over. And after the death of her daughter, Julia, she is searching for answers. Stumbling upon a pile of letters, hidden under Julia's bed in an old, battered shoebox, she feels closer to her daughter than ever before. They tell her that Julia was happy, that she was thriving at university, that she was in love.

But as the letters go on, Claire starts to feel uneasy at something hidden between the lines. Even as she grieves, she must prepare to face a shocking discovery. Because Julia was hiding a terrible secret - and when it's uncovered, it will make Claire question everything she thought she knew about her daughter...

An emotional and gripping page turner that will stay with you long after you finish the last page. Fans of Liane Moriarty, Lisa Wingate and Jodi Picoult will love this moving and poignant tale that's full of twists.
