A swallow flutters its wings into a dimly lit attic as Adele Foyle
stumbles across the secret diary of the mother she has never met,
and a shocking account of a crime committed over twenty-five years
ago ... Adele Foyle has returned to Reedstown, the last place her
mother, Marianne, was seen alive. With her mother's words etched in
her mind and in the pages tucked into her jacket pocket, Adele has
one purpose: to find those responsible for the devastating attack
on Marianne and see them brought to justice. Born into a Mother and
Baby home run by The Thorns, a self-proclaimed religious group led
by Gloria Thornton, Adele needs to first unlock the disturbing
chain of events that led to her own birth if she is to understand
what happened to her mother. But news of Adele's arrival and the
diary spread like wildfire amongst the small close-knit community
of Reedstown. Old memories are stirring up fresh wounds. No-one
wants the truth to be told. The diary is just a story, they say.
Yet as Adele begins to unravel the layers of deceit, the tissue
paper lies begin to fragment. Her mother was telling the truth.
Adele just has to prove it. A heart-stopping, intense and
emotionally engrossing read that will keep you compulsively turning
the pages late into the night. If you read one book this year, make
