Synopsis

The USA Today and Kindle Top #25 Bestseller ‘A real tear-jerker’ THE SUN ‘A stunning read’ MIRANDA DICKINSON For a decade, Hannah’s life has been pretty close to perfect – she has a great job, she’s married to Mark, and her child-free existence means she’s free as a bird. The only sadness in her life is a fall-out with her sister Diane, who hasn’t spoken to her in over ten years. But now Diane is on her doorstep – and this time, she’s got her teenage daughter Mia in tow. When Diane asks if Mia can stay with Hannah and Mark for a few days, Hannah is glad of the chance to get to know her niece. But as the days turn into weeks and Diane doesn’t return, Hannah begins to worry. Why hasn’t her sister been in touch? Diane is carrying a devastating secret that will destroy Hannah’s carefully constructed life. But how much is she willing to reveal – and when will she pick her moment? An emotional story that delves into the true meaning of family, sisterhood and secrets. Perfect for fans of Kerry Fisher and Adele Parks. More praise for : 'Unputdownable. A real page-turner.'

Robertson writes excellent books about messy lives and true emotions and is no exception.' Books of All Kinds 'A perfectly executed story and a great read.'

This might seem to be a fictional tale, but with billions living in this earth, it might have happened to someone. S. D. Robertson has taken......more

Goodreads review by Julie Parks on June 23, 2019

I can see why many women will love this plot. It's very suggestive from the very start and it offers a classic story underneath it - the two sisters with secrets from their pasts. A family where nothing is as it seems. Need I say more? S.D. Robertson's writing is fast-paced and engaging, adding a cer......more

Goodreads review by Donna on April 01, 2021

Hannah's life is fantastic. She's married to Mark, the love of her life and her first book is about to be published. Out of the blue, her twin sister Diane shows up with Mia, her teenage daughter. Hannah and Diane have been estranged for over ten years. Diane says that she has something very importa......more

Goodreads review by Elizabeth on August 24, 2020

This didn’t really do much for me. I felt like a lot was given away towards the beginning, and so I wasn’t shocked as things came out later. Another thing that bothered me was how often we’re hit over the head with “Mark never wanted children, after a trauma in his childhood” it took so long to hear......more

Goodreads review by Tony Bezilla on August 26, 2020

Groundhog day I'm not a fan of the regurgitative writing style. The oh, so tedious practice of saying the same thing over and over using different characters to replay the same event from a slightly different perspective. One gets the impression that if the author were to just get on with it the whol......more
