Synopsis

WRITTEN WITH SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR ANN CUSACK

Generations of abuse.

A murdered mother.

A daughter determined to get justice.

Growing up as one of eight children with drug abusers for parents, Tara has no choice but to learn to be self-reliant from a young age.

Despite her mother’s negligence, Tara remains fiercely loyal to her, even more so when she discovers the terrible sexual abuse she suffered as a child at the hands of her own father.

But when the same predator turns his attention to six-year-old Tara, a horrifying spiral begins and history repeats itself.

Her mother stayed silent and Tara keeps her own abuse and pain a secret too. Until one day an unimaginable tragedy changes everything.

Tara knows she can rely only on herself. Can she finally get justice for both of them?
