About the book:
Then: A trip to the beach tore Becky’s world apart. It was the day her mother Selma met the mysterious man she went on to fall in love with, and leave her husband and child for.
Now: It’s been a decade since they last spoke, but Selma has just weeks to live. And she has something important to tell Becky – a secret she been hiding for many years. She had another daughter.
With the loss of her mother, Becky aches to find her sister. She knows she cannot move forward in her life without answers, but who can she really trust?
An emotionally powerful novel full of twists and family secrets. Perfect for fans of Josephine Cox and Susan Lewis.
A little look on the inside:
‘You’ve
been brilliant, thank you,’ the girl’s mother says as they
walk out
to the reception area. ‘Say thank you, Jess.’
‘Thank
you,’ the girl says in a shy voice.
‘A
pleasure!’
When
they leave, Becky returns to her consulting room and
sinks
down into her chair, yawning. She likes to do this at the end
of the
day, just close her eyes and relax for a few seconds. She’s
done her
best to make the consulting room as homely as possible.
One wall
crowded with cards from grateful patients, her small, tidy
desk
adorned with photos of her three skinny suki whippet crosses,
Summer,
Womble and Danny.
Above
the desk is a shelf of books lined with the usual suspects:
a wide
range of medical reference books. But mixed in with them
are
romance novels, given to Becky by patients as gifts after Kay
let slip
to one that Becky is a secret fan of romantic fi ction. It is a
running
joke now, with books gifted to her by regulars each
Christmas,
or when an owner wants to thank her. The truth is,
Becky
does love the novels, devouring them whenever she is lucky
enough
to have a break.
But that
is just about the extent of the romance in her life. It
has been
ten years since she was dumped by the boyfriend she’d
had
since school, just before their tenth anniversary. There have
been a
succession of bad dates since, but recently, she’s begun to
think a
life with just her and the dogs would be perfect, despite
what Kay thinks.
