Your past will devastate your family. But your lies could
destroy them. What would YOU do?
Sometimes a lie can split your life in two. There is
“before”, and there is “after”. Try as you might – you can
never go back.
When Lydia was a teenager, she made a decision
that ruined her family’s life. They’ve spent the last thirty
years living with the consequences and doing their best to
pretend it never happened.
Lydia’s husband, the gorgeous and reliable Mark,
and her two teenage children know nothing about that summer
back in 1982. And that’s the way Lydia wants it to stay. The
opportunity to come clean is long gone and now it’s not the
lie that matters, it’s the betrayal of hiding the truth for
so long.
When someone from the past turns up as a parent at the
school gates, Lydia feels the life she has worked so hard to
build slipping through her fingers. The more desperate she
becomes to safeguard her family, the more erratic her
behaviour becomes. But when the happiness of her own teenage
son, Jamie, hangs in the balance, Lydia is forced to
make some impossible decisions. Can she protect him and
still keep her own secret – and if she doesn’t, will her
marriage and family survive?
From the author of THE ISLAND ESCAPE comes a powerful
and heartbreaking story, perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty
and Diane Chamberlain.
