About this audiobook

Eleanor Beech is happily married with a beloved daughter. But beneath the surface of her perfect family lies a secret. A secret so deep, so shameful, that Eleanor will do anything to stop it from devastating all she holds dear.

Anything.

So when Clara discovers the truth and demands Eleanor's help in return for her silence, there is no choice. No matter how troubled Clara seems, or how dark her requests become.

As Eleanor is drawn into a ever more tangled web of lies and deceit, can she face her guilt and find her way back to the happy family she longs to keep?

About the author

Emma Hornby lives on a tight-knit working-class estate in Bolton and has read sagas all her life. Before pursuing a career as a novelist, she had a variety of jobs, from care assistant for the elderly, to working in a Blackpool rock factory. She was inspired to write after researching her family history; like the characters in her books, many generations of her family eked out life amidst the squalor and poverty of Lancashire's slums.
