About The Book

It’s in that moment, I realise – I have nowhere to turn. If my precious daughters and I are going to have a roof over our heads, we have to return to my childhood home. The one I’ve not felt welcome in since my father died. The one where the woman who destroyed our family still lives…

Today marks the end of life as I know it. My husband’s lies have wrecked our marriage and I’m left without a home.

My daughters need me like never before. But that means asking for help from my stepmother, a woman I blame for ruining my childhood. When my dad died, he left me his house on one condition: that she could stay there for as long as she wanted. Since then, she’s never welcomed me in or shown any desire to leave.

But as we adjust to a new life with her, everything I thought I knew about my stepmother comes crashing down. The secrets that kept us apart are finally revealing themselves. Will our fragile bond break completely, or could it be the only thing that saves me?
