Here’s the set-up:

There isn’t a day I don’t think of you, my poor lost girl. I remember the sweet, milky smell of your skin, the shape of your lips. You were perfect, lying there in my arms, as tiny as a bird and just as weightless. Oh, my love, come back to me. Find me… before it’s too late.

When sweet, giggly three-year-old Sara disappeared from our lives one afternoon it tore my family apart. We have never been the same again. Years later, my gran still startles at every knock, convinced it’s Sara at the door. But the only trace of the cherished little girl is a fading photo in the hall, a single white knitted baby shoe tucked behind the frame.

Then, one day, as Gran and I are in a crowded local café, a beautiful girl approaches, claiming to be Sara. With her wide green eyes and smooth, straight hair, could she really be our long-lost girl? But where has she been all this time, and was somebody stopping her from coming home?

Soon, Sara is turning up for Sunday lunch, and then moving her things into the snug bedroom upstairs. But as Sara makes herself at home, not everyone is happy that she’s back in our lives once more. Long-held secrets are threatening to surface, and someone in our tight-knit family doesn’t want them to be told. It seems Sara isn’t the only one who could be hiding who she really is…

A gripping page-turner about three generations of family secrets. Fans of Jodi Picoult, Kelly Rimmer and Kerry Fisher won’t be able to put this book down.
