The enthralling new novel from the 10-million-copy, No. 1 bestselling author

After the funeral of her mother, Sally, Alice Kent is approached by a man named Angus who claims to be her father and served time in prison for marrying Sally bigamously.

What does he hope to gain telling her this now, thirty years on? How can her adored Ralph not be her true father? And why did her mother betray her so badly?

She had accepted Sally's many faults, and reluctance to never speak of the past. But faced with this deception, Alice knows she must uncover the whole truth about her mother.

Whatever the cost.

International bestselling author Lesley Pearse has lived a life as rich with incidents, setbacks and joys as any found in her novels. After her mother died, Lesley spent three years in an orphanage before she was taken home when her father remarried. Resourceful, determined and willing to have a go at almost anything Lesley left home at sixteen. By the mid Sixties she was living in London, sharing flats, partying hard and married a trumpet player in a Jazz rock band. She has also worked as a nanny, a Playboy bunny and designed and made clothes to sell to boutiques. It was only after having three daughters that Lesley began to write. The hardships, traumas, close friends and lovers from those early years were inspiration for her beloved novels. She published her first book at 49 and has not looked back since.
