From the million copy bestselling author of In a Single Moment and Reluctantly Home comes a gripping novel that asks: how big a lie would you tell to protect the ones you love?
When Loretta Ashton dies suddenly, her family is shattered. As a devoted wife and mother, Loretta was their rock―a woman admired by the entire community. But at her funeral, an unexpected guest turns their grief into confusion. A stranger claiming to be Loretta's sister takes a seat with the family, only to vanish before anyone can confront her.
The problem? Loretta was an only child.
While the rest of the family dismisses the woman as a fraud, Loretta's daughter Bronte can't let it go. She had understood her mother's early life to be unremarkable, but as Bronte digs deeper she uncovers a web of secrets that stretches across decades and continents, connecting her mother to a family in Sicily and a past Loretta went to great lengths to conceal.
Why did Loretta leave her old life behind? And how far had she been willing to go to keep her secrets hidden?
As Bronte unravels the truth, she faces a heartbreaking question: will uncovering her mother's past destroy the family she left behind―or bring them closer together?

Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.
