Synopsis


A gripping and emotional story of family and the secrets we keep from the ones we love. For fans of Kristin Hannah and Delia Owens. When you're lost sometimes the only way to look forward is to look back... Three women. Two generations apart. One secret they share. Maine, 1997. As the people of Fort Meadow Beach celebrate the Fourth of July, four-year-old Daisy Wright disappears and is never seen again. Maine, 2022. Fired from her job and heart-broken, Peyton Winchester moves back home for the summer. Bored and aimless, she finds a renewed sense of purpose when an ad for a journalism course reminds her of a path not taken. Returning to life in her home town brings back all kind of memories – including Daisy's disappearance when she was a young girl herself. As Peyton begins to search for answers about Daisy's disappearance, she finds that they might be closer to home than she thinks – and their lives become intertwined with irreversible consequences.


My Review


This was a wonderful story. From the start I just knew I was going to love this story. The storyline was amazing as it follows 2 sisters struggling to survive from neglecting parents. It then goes on the follow the elder daughter through school. This was a rather emotional story. It definitely kept my concentration as I found it easy to connect with the characters. The development of the female protagonist was brilliant throughout the story. I just had to read this book in one sitting it was that good I just couldn't put it down and the pages were turned frantically. There were plenty of unexpected twists and turns some were rather shocking especially the end. This book is a brilliant historic fiction that im sure you will love.

Many thanks to the author and publishers for creating such an interesting story. I will definitely be looking out for more books by this fantastic author.
