Mothers will do what they must to protect their children …

When two women on the run are thrown into each other’s paths, they strike a tentative bond. Both are mothers, and both are desperate. Cerys has no children to look after anymore, and Lily is doing all she can to take care of a four-year-old on her own. But each keeps secrets from the
