An emotional tearjerker! The page-turning, heartbreaking novel of love, motherhood and what it takes to overcome tragedy, from the bestselling author of The Last Days of Us.

Emily is back in Ireland after nine long years away from home, when she sees him. Her ex-husband, Rob, holding hands with a five-year-old girl. A girl that should be hers.

Over a decade before, Emily and Rob were in love and happily married. Then tragedy struck and Emily moved to New Zealand to get away. Now, returning to Dublin nearly a decade later for her mother's funeral, she finds herself face-to-face with her past. The man she loved has a daughter, beautiful little Molly, and Emily's heart breaks yet again for everything that could have – should have – been.

But Rob and Molly's lives aren't without their own misfortunes.

Could a second chance at family heal all their broken hearts?

Caroline Finnerty's beautifully tender and poignant new novel is guaranteed to make you smile but also make you cry. Perfect for fans of Amanda Prowse, Emma Robinson and Alison Ragsdale.
