Summary
Sometimes a secret is just a story we haven't told yet.

This is what I will tell you about myself, before anyone else gets the chance.

I am a social worker. I have two young children and a still-handsome lawyer husband, Will.

My job is usually keeping families together, but I’ve never been given a case like Rose and Bobby before. It’s been a bad one for me to have, in hindsight.

Two mothers. Two stories. Two chances to get it right.

I don’t usually bend the rules this far. But you have to do what’s best for the child. That’s the number one rule.

Deeply relatable, funny, tender and involving, this debut novel is perfect for readers of The Wedding People, Sorrow and Bliss or Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine.

'I absolutely adored this book. It gave me Sorrow and Bliss vibes but better. It’s beautifully written and impossible to put down. I will read anything Emily writes – I’m her biggest fan' Josie Ferguson, author of The Silence In Between
