About this listen

How big a lie would you tell to protect the ones you love?

From the million copy bestselling author of In a Single Moment comes a heart-twisting story of family, identity and the cost of truth.

Bronte Ashton thought she knew everything about her mother Loretta—until a stranger appears at her funeral claiming to be Loretta's long-lost sister. But Loretta was an only child.

Grief turns to confusion, then a desire to find out the truth. Because while her siblings dismiss the woman as an impostor, Bronte can't ignore the nagging feeling that maybe they didn't know their mother at all.

As Bronte journeys from Loretta's beloved home in Yorkshire to the heat-soaked hillsides of Sicily, she uncovers more questions than answers. Why did Loretta leave her old life behind? And what secret was worth erasing her entire past to protect? But as Bronte edges closer to the truth, she realizes that some family secrets, once revealed, have the power to shatter not just the past, but everything she holds dear in the present.
