When I find a little girl standing on my doorstep, I don't know what to do. But as I take her small hand in mine, she whispers words that will change my life. 'Mummy said you'd look after me.'
Ever since her husband left her for another woman, Cora has been trying to put her life back together. But when she hears he started a family, her heart breaks all over again. And so, when the doorbell rings late one night, the last person Cora expects to find is her husband's child.
The little girl is shivering, clutching her baby brother's hand. With no other choice, Cora ushers the children into her home. As she settles them by the fire, she tries to work out what happened. But as the days pass and her phone calls go unanswered, she realises the children's parents have vanished without a trace...
Over the following weeks, Cora grows to love the children as if they were her own. And as she tucks them into bed each night, pressing a kiss to their foreheads, her heart feels fuller than she ever could have imagined.
But when her ex-husband's wife reappears, Cora senses she isn't telling the truth about why she abandoned her children. And when Cora's ex-husband returns, claiming the children aren't safe with their mother, she faces an impossible choice. Should Cora believe him or the children's mother? And should she trust her instinct that something is terribly wrong?
An utterly compelling and heartbreaking story about motherhood and a devastating family secret. Readers who love Kate Hewitt, Jodi Picoult and Diane Chamberlain will be totally captivated by this deeply emotional novel.
