From the bestselling author of The Girl in the Corner comes a story
that asks: what would you risk for a shot at happiness? 1984.
Bessie is a confident sixteen-year-old girl with the world at her
feet, dreaming of what life will bring and what she'll bring to
this life. Then everything comes crashing down. Her bright and
trusting smile is lost, banished by shame-and a secret she'll carry
with her for the rest of her life. 2021. The last thirty-seven
years have not been easy for Bess. At fifty-three she is visibly
weary, and her marriage to Mario is in tatters. Watching her son in
newlywed bliss-the hope, the trust, the joy-Bess knows it is time
to face her own demons, and try to save her relationship. But
she'll have to throw off the burden of shame if she is to honour
that sixteen-year-old girl whose dreams lie frozen in time. Can
Bess face her past, finally come clean to Mario, and claim the love
she has longed to fully experience all these years?
