'Emotional and thought-provoking' - Jenny Quintana, author of The Hiding Place
An estranged daughter.
Renee Gulliver appears to have it all: a beautiful house overlooking a scenic estuary on England's East Coast, a successful career as a relationship therapist, three grown-up children, and a beloved grandson, Xavier.
A missing grandson.
But then Xavier vanishes after Renee fails to pick him up from school, and the repercussions are manifold.
A mother faced with an impossible choice.
Renee is wracked with remorse; the local community question her priorities, clients abandon her; and, as long-held grievances surface, her daughter Mia offers her a heartbreaking ultimatum.
Amid recriminations, misunderstandings and lies, can Renee find a way to reunite her family?
