Can she discover the truth about her long-lost mother before becoming a mother herself? A tale of fear and family secrets by the author of The Missing Husband.

Annie's mother, Eve, died in childbirth thirty-five years ago. Despite this profound loss, Annie's made it to adulthood just fine. She enjoys being an estate agent, she loves her partner, Gabe—and now, after two years of trying, she's finally expecting a baby.

But as her pregnancy progresses, Annie grows anxious about what happened to her mother, wanting to ensure history doesn't repeat itself.

Then Annie comes across three long-hidden photographs. But these clues to the past raise more questions than answers—and make Annie wonder what's real and what isn't . . .
