About this listen

An utterly heartwrenching tale of love and loss that will break your heart and put it back togeher again. From top ten bestseller, Jo Bartlett.

A family in turmoil...

Phoebe Spencer left home a long time ago, desperate to get away from her mother's emotional manipulation. She knows her life is better away from her family, but she can’t help feeling she’s simply running away from her problems…

Then Phoebe hears that her younger sister Lucy has disappeared, leaving behind her four-year old daughter, Darcy. Phoebe's certain Lucy will be back soon - she'd never leave Darcy alone - and then Phoebe can get on with her life again.

But as the days pass there's still no sign of Lucy, and everyone begins to fear the worst. Phoebe has to consider the terrible truth that Lucy might never come home. And as their mother makes it clear she wants to take control of Darcy’s life, Phoebe must do all she can to protect the girl her sister left behind – no matter the cost to her.

A complelety heartbreaking, but uplifting story guarenteed to make you cry. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Emma Robinson and Kate Hewitt.

'A poignant tale which is both heart-breaking and heart-warming at the same time. Beautifully written.' Bestselling author, Jessica Redland.

'An emotional roller-coaster from beginning to end! I challenge anyone to read it without their eyes filling up with tears. A real page turner!' Besteslling author Sheila Norton.
