review 1: This particular story introduces us to Alicia Carlyle and her children Nat and Darcie. Alicia has to make some huge changes following the sudden death of her husband Craig. Alicia grew up in Holly Wood which is where her brother Robert and his wife Sabrina live along with Sabrina's daughter Annabelle. When Alicia is forced to move back to her childhood home to start afresh she realises that things aren't going to be easy. She is going to have to face her sister-in-law who nearly wrecked her life and marriage. She also wants to try and build bridge with her brother Robert as things between them have been strained for over a year. When she does return at first it seems like life will bring her a brighter and better future with the introduction of a man who can help her caree... morer and a new home and schools for her children. At 17, Nat has decided to follow in his late fathers footsteps and go into law and his sister Darcie is looking forward to meeting the friends that she used to play with when she was younger. However before long all of their lives are shattered when Annabelle accuses Nat of a crime he says he didn't commit. The following months tell a very sad and tragic tale of two children locked in a battle over who is telling the truth. The truth is marred by the past involving both Sabrina and Alicia with Robert stuck in the middle. Will the truth come out, and more importantly who is telling lies and who isn't?I must say that although I have been a huge fan of Susan Lewis, this latest book exceeded all expectations. She manages to write a fantastic book that really pulls at heart strings. She manages to write about situations that have probably happened across the world to many different people. She writes with feeling and emotion telling a truly sad tale. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and think that unlike other authors; her work seems to get better with every book she writes. I struggle to fit this book into a category as she doesn't fall into my opinion of `Chick Lit'. She writes books that touch a nerve and never fails to impress. I would say that I would HIGHLY recommend this book.
review 2: A couldn't put down book. Alicia's ife is turned upside down when her husband Craig dies suddenly. With two children to think of she has no choice but to return to her home town of Holly Wood and face an even bigger problem, Sabrina her husbands mistress who just happens to be her brothers wife. Things go from bad to worse when their children Annabelle and Nat go to a rave and the two familes have to deal with the mess that follows. A great read! less
