For Tabitha, the day that changed everything started like any other. She woke up, leaving her husband Andy sleeping. Downstairs, she boiled the kettle and enjoyed a cup of tea as the sun rose.

Three years later Tabitha is trying her hardest to get by in the shadow of her grief. She may have lost the love of her life but she won't give up on the family they dreamed of. Fostering troublesome teenage girls and a newborn baby is a chance to piece together her broken heart. But being a mother isn't easy, and neither is healing the heartache she carries around.
