About this ebook
A stunning novel about secrets and silence - and how sooner or later the truth must be spoken. Another hard-hitting, gripping and unputdownable read from the queen of white-knuckle suspense and searing family drama.
There was so much anger brewing in the child that sometimes Alicia feared for all of them. And now she had gone and done this terrible thing. This terrible, terrible thing.
Tara has lost her voice. She knows there was pain and fear but she cannot remember anything else. Now she can only answer the questions with silence.
Minnie has buried her voice for years, losing herself in silence and isolation, keeping her secrets safe and her broken heart concealed.
Liam finds refuge in silence; it is a place to go to when he cannot get the words out.
Kate cannot speak for herself just yet.
People are only separated from each other by moments, by fate and coincidence.
One teenage mistake, one shocking choice and one terrible night will lead to courage found, voices raised and the truth finally spoken.
'If you love writers such as Jodi Picoult or Caroline Overington, Nicole may just be your cup of tea.' The Hoopla

Young girl has baby but cannot remember the birth of baby and has lost voice. Sweet story but also sad. Shows how people make mistakes and live with the silence of their mistakes. Would love more detail at end but loved the book.
