A heartbreaking and ultimately uplifting story about mothers and daughters, love, and loss. Perfect for fans of Lucy Diamond, Beth Moran, and Amanda Prowse. 💔💐💌

Dear Lexie, it feels funny writing to you, but of course, you always wanted to go and do great things. So letters it is, until I see you again. I saw a flower today, and it reminded me of you...

As Edie writes to her long-distant daughter, she finds herself going over her memories of Lexie's childhood, not just the moments that held them together, but also the things - and the person - who ultimately tore them apart.

Perhaps by writing, she will be able to work out what went wrong. And if she can do that, surely she will find a way to bring Lexie back, to make their family whole again?

But revisiting the past isn't as comfortable a journey as she'd hoped. And the truth comes with a revelation that will shock Edie, and change everything...

The most unforgettable story of the year - available now!
