'Gripping' Mail on Sunday What if your child ends up hurting those
you love? Lydia and Bel have been best friends for years, from wild
teenage days all the way through to motherhood. Bel becomes
pregnant by accident and has a fraught relationship with daughter
Freya, while Lydia and love-of-her-life Mac, after failed fertility
treatment, choose to adopt. Gorgeous toddler Chloe challenges them
more than either of them had ever expected and as a teenager her
behaviour escalates increasingly out of control, pushing their
marriage, and Lydia and Bel's relationship, to breaking point. A
harrowing and heart-breaking story of the splinters that can tear
mothers and daughters, husbands and wives - and friends - apart.

McDermid 'Powerful, complex and utterly gripping' Sunday Mirror 'An
intelligent and emotionally engaging moral workout' Daily Telegraph

them extraordinary' Ann Cleeves 'Complex and satisfying' Sunday
