'Gosh, this one pulls at the heartstrings! There were so many things that touched me in this book... My heart broke... had me tearing up at the end... I loved it.' Suze Reviews

You've lost everything you've ever loved, and it's all your fault... isn't it? Rachel's life isn't perfect, but she's so happy. Her husband Mitch has stuck by her and he's an amazing dad. Her daughter Becca makes her heart explode with love.

And then, in the blink of an eye, there's no longer a place for Rachel in her own family. Her heart has been broken: her right to see her beloved daughter has been taken away.

Life goes on in Rachel's home - family dinners, missing socks and evening baths - but she's shut out from it. Becca may be tucked up in bed in Rose Cottage, but she is as lost to Rachel as if she had been snatched from under her nose.

Rachel can never forgive herself for what happened that day, and the part she played in it. But she's starting to realise that things aren't how she thought they were, and her husband Mitch isn't who she thought he was either. The truths she has been punishing herself for are built on sand. Has she lost sweet Becca forever, or could finding out what really happened finally bring her back?

A heart-wrenchingly emotional drama for fans of Lisa Wingate, Kate Hewitt and Jodi Picoult.
