About this listen

In her new novel, Danielle Steel tells a riveting story of the dark side of motherhood.

Zoe Morgan's childhood was marked by her younger sister's tragic illness, watching as her parents dedicated themselves completely to her final days, and then later divorced. As a young woman, driven by these painful memories, Zoe set the bar high for herself, studying hard and pursuing a career in the nonprofit world, where her deep compassion towards disadvantaged children finds a focus.

When Zoe falls in love and has her own child, she is determined to be a perfect mother as well. But before long, old scars long dormant begin to pull Zoe to the edge of an abyss too terrifying to contemplate. As Zoe is haunted by the ghosts of the past, her story will become a race against time, and a tale of psychological suspense that no listener will soon forget.

This is not a typical DS novel, although her usual writing style is present. If you enjoy Domestic Suspense novels by authors such as Lisa Jewell, this is likely to appeal. I personally enjoyed it.

Darkly compelling

This is the darkest and most harrowing of Danielle Steele’s books, and I’ve listened to them all. The narrator is excellent and the story is fast paced and gripping but a hard listen and joyless. So grit your teeth and prepare yourself and if you can’t face sad stories about children, give this one a miss.

Brace yourself DS fans.....

The reality of child abuse is shocking. I find it hard to believe that mother's can intentionally harm their children. A very good book to read to know more about this tragic condition a mother can suffer from. The author Daniell Steel describes it so well.

I was really impressed by this book!
