Perfect for fans of family dramas by Amanda Prowse, Amanda Brooke, Susan Lewis and Kelly Rimmer, it follows Kathryn Casey, a woman whose carefully rebuilt life is threatened when a stranger arrives who seems to know far more about her hidden past than he should.

These days she barely notices the small, daily lies she tells to keep it buried. She has built a new identity and a quiet, orderly life revolving around her beloved husband and children. But Kathryn was once Kelly, a girl who grew up on one of the roughest estates in the north east and fell pregnant as a teenager. When she left, she left everything behind. Now there is a stranger in her kitchen, and he knows more about her history than she has ever admitted to anyone. What does he want, and how far is he prepared to go? As his questions press on old wounds, Kathryn must decide whether to protect her family with more lies, or finally risk everything by telling the truth. Told with warmth, grit and a keen understanding of class, motherhood and reinvention, the novel moves between the present-day threat and flashbacks to Kathryn\/Kelly's adolescence, gradually revealing the choices that shaped her. Welch's accessible, emotionally honest prose builds to a reveal that reframes everything that came before, exploring how family bonds can be both a shield and a cage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA gripping, twist-filled family drama from a nationally recognised author and broadcaster.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompulsive standalone story exploring secrets, identity and motherhood.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-paced, emotionally rich narrative with a powerful late reveal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for readers of Amanda Prowse, Susan Lewis, Amanda Brooke and Kelly Rimmer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA thoughtful gift for fans of contemporary women's fiction and family sagas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDenise Welch was born in Whitley Bay in 1958 and is a widely recognised English actress, broadcaster and author.
