Summary
A loving mother. A perfect family. A shock wave that could shatter everything.
Freya Braithwaite knows she is lucky. Nineteen years of marriage to a man who still warms her soul and two beautiful teenage daughters to show for it: confident Charlotte and thoughtful Lexi. Her home is filled with love and laughter.
But when Lexi's struggles with weight take control of her life, everything Freya once took for granted falls apart, leaving the whole family with a sense of helplessness that can only be confronted with understanding, unity and, above all, love.
In this compelling and heart-wrenching new work by bestselling author Amanda Prowse, one ordinary family tackles unexpected difficulties and discovers that love can find its way through life's darkest moments.

Poor ending
Have to agree with other reviewers, the ending was poor and sudden and gave no clue as to how the recovery happened.

Not Prowses usuall standard.
Any additional comments?
Great subject matter but it was extremely repetitive. The ending seemed premature and so abrupt. The epilogue 'everyone lived happily ever after' just left me Baffled . How did she get over this hurdle? What happened to make her better? I guess we have to fill in the blanks ourselves.

Excellent
Loved listening to this book even though at times it was tough. Anyone who knows somebody who struggles with mental health or an eating disorder should read this book, it definitely gives you a more understanding of this dreadful disease and what a family has to go through.

Just amazing..........
I think this was the third or fourth Amanda Prowse novel I've listened to and each one leaves me awe-struck.
I've said in a previous review of her work that she either has personal experience of each subject matter OR she lives, and breathes superb research.
This novel takes the listener through every emotion such mental illness must cause within even the closest families. I was exhausted by the end mainly because of the emotional rollercoaster the story took me on twinned with " one more chapter, one more chapter" even at 3 o clock in the morning!
Read by Amanda herself in the way that she intended it to be portrayed..... Absolutely fabulous.
Now... on to my next AP audiobook.!
