About

You'd do anything to protect your baby but what if you're the danger?

Pregnant with her first child, Lucy's life should be full of excitement and hope. Instead, her days are clouded by moments she can't explain - forgotten plans, misplaced belongings, a creeping sense that something is slipping through her fingers.

They say every new mother feels like this, it's just baby brain, but the sleepless nights bring strange dreams and flashes of memory she can't quite place. Everyone insists she's fine. Lucy's not so sure. Because something, or someone, doesn't want her to remember.

Is she losing her grip on reality, or uncovering something she was never meant to see?

With the due date fast approaching, if she can't trust her own mind, how will she protect her baby?



A powerful and gripping psychological drama for fans of Liane Moriarty, Jodi Picoult and Adele Parks. Amanda Brooke is a bestselling author from Liverpool who draws much of her inspiration from the place she loves. She began writing in her forties after the death of her young son and her debut novel, Yesterday's Sun, was a Richard and Judy Book Club pick. She continues to write emotionally charged stories that peel back the layers of family and friendships to reveal secrets some would rather you didn't know.
