About the book
Michelle Gorman has crafted a story that is both captivating and full of emotion. Two decades after their passionate courtship and marriage, Lucas and Esther are now heading towards divorce.
Esther finds it difficult to not feel resentful as she watches Lucas thrive in his successful career and be doted on by his attractive, intelligent, and inevitably younger lover. Meanwhile, she is struggling to navigate the world of modern dating and come to terms with the challenges of being a single woman of a certain age.
As Lucas faces a devastating accusation and their children, Dylan and Lily, begin to unravel, the family is thrown into chaos. When Dylan disappears and Lucas fights to salvage his reputation, Lucas and Esther are forced back into each other's lives, whether they like it or not.
Will old loyalties and feelings resurface to bring the family back together when they need each other the most, or has too much time passed for reconciliation? This heartfelt tale of family dynamics is a must-read for fans of Liane Moriarty and Sally Hepworth.
