About the book
A heartbreaking family story that will deeply resonate with readers who enjoy the works of Erica James, Elizabeth Noble, Joanna Trollope, and Anita Shreve!
A childhood torn apart.
A family torn asunder.
A haunting past comes back to haunt...
From the moment they were born, twins Cath and Rob were inseparable. But when their mother passes away, their bond only grows stronger as their father quickly remarries a woman with a volatile temper, who only has eyes for her own son - Oliver - born nine months later.
Tragedy strikes at the age of 47 when Rob passes away, leaving Cath to navigate through her grief. Her sorrow is magnified when Oliver suddenly decides to attend Rob's funeral, reopening old wounds after thirty years of estrangement.
Forced together, the half-siblings are forced to confront a past that shakes the foundation of their lives as they discover significant disparities in their memories of events. But could both of their versions of the truth hold some validity...?
Amanda Brookfield's gripping exploration of relationships, family dynamics, and the profound impacts of our everyday choices will captivate fans of Cathy Kelly and Joanna Trollope.
Praise for this book
A poignant, engrossing novel and a gripping emotional rollercoaster.
The queen of powerful, psychological drama at the top of her game. An exquisitely-written, tenderly-observed, absolute roller-coaster of emotions into the enduring power of sibling bonds trying to survive, to live and love. I laughed, I cried, One I recommend from the bottom of my heart
A gentle and moving portrait of family, grief and new beginnings.
No one gets to the heart of human relationships quite so perceptively as Brookfield.
An engaging, emotionally-charged and intriguing story
Unputdownable. Perceptive. Poignant. I loved it.
