About this ebook
Missing You is a beautifully written tale of family and love, from Louise Douglas, author of The Love of My Life.
Fen works in a bookshop and is devoted to her young son, Connor, but she keeps herself to herself. Haunted by guilt and a terrible secret, Fen lives a compromised life, isolated from her family, far from home and too afraid of the past to risk becoming close to anyone. She is constantly looking over her shoulder, knowing that one day the truth will catch up with her.
Sean, on the other hand, is enjoying a seemingly perfect life. He has a successful career, lives in his dream home and adores his beautiful wife, Belle, and their six-year-old daughter, Amy. That is until the day Belle announces she has found someone else and wants Sean to move out.
Circumstance throws Fen and Sean together. Slowly their quiet friendship turns into something much deeper and the joy they find in one another eventually gives them the confidence to trust and love again. But will the past tear them apart just as they find happiness?

Another triumph for character based story writing. By the end of the book, I felt like Fen and Sean were my old friends and was rooting for them through the book. Reading books by this author is like a good cup of tea, it doesn't matter how many you've had, you know you will enjoy the next one.

Really enjoyed this. Finished too abruptly. Could have been a few more chapters. Last chapter seemed rushed but still very much worth reading. A lovely flow of writing.

Couldn't put it down, a lovely read. Just a shame one of the storylines mentioned throughout, doesn't have a definite conclusion.
