It's every mother's worst nightmare… Carla Kelly wakes to find her two-day-old baby daughter's cot empty. Isobel has been taken. Susanne Dowling has kept a terrible secret following her fifth agonising miscarriage. When at last she welcomes her new baby daughter into her life she realises they will both be safe as long as Susanne keeps her daughter close, and confesses her lie to no one. Ever. Carla, a top model, launches a fierce national campaign to find her baby – but the trail is cold. She receives threats and recriminations from strangers – she flaunted her pregnancy in the media, she cashed in on it, she deserves everything she gets – and, pressured by well-meaning loved ones to move on, she begins to fall apart. But one letter Carla receives stands out from the rest, offering support from a surprising quarter. It sparks a chain of events that opens wounds and exposes shocking secrets from Carla’s past that suggest what happened to her daughter was revenge a long time planned. And it will bring Carla unknowingly close to the stolen daughter she has sworn she will do anything to get back … ‘Entertaining and highly thought-provoking.’ Closer Magazine ‘A bittersweet tale of love and heartache.’ Evening Echo Read what everyone is saying about Laura’s novels: 'A page-turner…has all the ingredients of a bestseller.'
