'Brave, brilliantly structured, and beautifully written' - Laura
Barnett, author of The Versions of Us 'So truthful and rewarding' -
Ian Rankin, author of the Inspector Rebus series 'Captivating' -
Irish Independent Kate has done the unthinkable. She'd worked hard
to build a perfect life for herself, while ignoring her growing
unhappiness. But when her second child was born profoundly
disabled, reality hit. Unable to cope, Kate left - disappearing
without a trace. She ends up in LA, with a glittering career and a
new family of sorts, but the guilt is still suffocating. Husband
Andrew was left to pick up the pieces and care for their disabled
daughter and angry, confused son. Bereft and broken, he leaned on
Olivia, Kate's best friend. She's been by his side ever since,
ignoring her own needs to meet his. Years later, Andrew has written
a memoir about his daughter learning to communicate against all
odds. But when Kate's new producer husband decides he wants to make
a film of it, their worlds collide once again. Now, Kate must
return to the life she abandoned and reckon with what she did. The
guilt and the love. The pain and the hope. In other words, family.
'About half way through this beautiful, expertly-stitched novel, I
thought to myself, "Every woman needs to read this book"; by the
end, I thought, "every human". Moving, thought-provoking and
profound, it's one of my favourite reads of the last few years'
Louise Candlish, author of Our House
