Thirteen-year-old Rebecca Waterhouse saw her mother die in Seaview Cottage—killed by her father. At least, that’s what everyone believes. But what else did Rebecca witness that night? And why has she remained silent for decades?
Years later, Rebecca’s daughters, Iris and Jessie, live in the shadow of that trauma. Their mother never speaks of the past. But when Jessie disappears with her gravely ill newborn, Iris is forced to confront the family’s buried secrets.
To find her sister, Iris must untangle a legacy of betrayal, loss, and long-hidden truths. The answers lie in Seaview Cottage—and what really happened there all those years ago.
From the bestselling author of The Girl in the Letter comes a haunting, page-turning novel about the damage secrets leave behind—and the love that survives them.
