Summary

Three sisters. Three childhoods ruined. One chance to heal the scars of the past.

After their death of their cruel and abusive mother, estranged sisters Alex, Catherine and Beth reunite once again.

Alex, the youngest, is a bitter, unhappy woman who refuses to face the horrors of her childhood. Finding solace in a bottle, her life is spiraling dangerously out of control.

Eldest child, Catherine, has striven for success, despite her difficult upbringing. But behind the carefully constructed façade lies a secret that could shatter her world forever.

Beth, the middle child, bore the greatest burden. But having blocked out the cruelty they suffered, she remained with their mother until her death. Now she must confront the devastating reality of the past.

Brought together as strangers, the sisters embark on a painful journey to heal themselves and each other. Can they finally put their terrible childhoods to rest and start over?

Unputdownable

Absolutely gripping from beginning to end. This is the second time I've listened to this book. (Short term memory loss is a gift in this instance) Cannot recommend this enough.

Heartrending

Not my usual choice of storyline, but I have read a good few of Angela Marsons other books so have it a go! Such a sad story, provoking tears and anger at what the girls endured!
Beautifully narrated.

A hard listen at times

Fabulous book, well written and beautifully read. I listened well beyond where I should have stopped to get some sleep, but the story kept telling me to hear more!

Dear Mother

What a beautifully lovely sad book. Fabulously written and narrated.
Be prepared to have tears. Be prepared to be angry. Be prepared to smile.
