About this listen

Your husband took his own life. Tell the truth and destroy what is left of your family. Or keep a secret that will tear you apart. What would you do?

Olivia and David were the perfect couple with their whole lives in front of them. When beautiful baby daughter Zoe came along, their world seemed complete.

But now David is dead and Olivia's world is in pieces. While she is consumed with grief, her mother-in-law Ivy is also mourning the loss of her son. Both women are hiding secrets about the man they loved. Secrets that have put the family in danger.

Something was very wrong in Olivia and David's marriage. Can Olivia and Ivy break their silence and speak the truth? A mother should protect her child, whatever the cost, shouldn't she?

This is a brilliant book. Really makes you think about how responsible you are as a parent for the person your child becomes. My only criticism is that I found the narrator’s voice a bit grating and whiny at times, particularly when voicing the character of Ivy. To start with I wasn’t sure I would continue listening as I found her voice very distracting but soon got used to it and got lost in the story.

Kelly Rimmer is a brilliant author, she certainly knows how to bring her characters to life and provoke such feelings of compassion for Olivia and a real hatred for David and his wicked mother. The ending was so unexpected and emotional. Kelly certainly knows how to draw you in to the story. I would throughly recommend this author and this book

Extraordinary, compelling and heartbreaking.

Words are difficult to express how I feel right at this moment. Such a beautifully written yet heart breaking read. A thought provoking book that touched my heart - silent tears rolled down my cheeks as I listened to the reality that was Olivia and Zoe's lives. A must read for every woman - a book that'll make you thankful for the lives we live, or a book that may just give you strength to live better lives for yourselves. Thank you so much @bookouture and Kelly Rimmer for this beautiful book.
