About this ebook
A too-good-to-be-true family must heal their fractured selves—or go their separate ways—in a novel of hope and resiliency from the author of Let Her Go.
Emily and Paul have a glorious home, money in the bank and two beautiful children. Since leaving Scotland for Paul to play football for an Australian team they have been blessed. But sadness lies behind the picture-perfect family—sixteen-year-old Cameron has battled with health troubles his entire life. There’s no name for what he has, but his disruptive behavior, OCD, and difficulty in social situations is a constant source of worry.
When Paul’s career comes to a shuddering halt, he descends into a spiral of addiction, gambling away the family’s future. By the time he seeks help, it’s his new boss who recommends and pays for a rehab facility.
While Paul is away, Emily has to make a tough decision about their son. She keeps it from Paul knowing he’ll disapprove. And when a terrible accident reveals the truth, Paul takes his son and goes on the run, leaving Emily to care for fourteen-year-old Tilly, who unbeknown to her parents is fighting battles of her own.
Can the family join together for the sake of their loved ones, or will their troubles tear them apart?
