Publisher's summary

In her new novel, Danielle Steel tells a riveting story of the dark side of motherhood.

Zoe Morgan's childhood was marked by her younger sister's tragic illness, watching as her parents dedicated themselves completely to her final days, and then later divorced. As a young woman, driven by these painful memories, Zoe set the bar high for herself, studying hard and pursuing a career in the nonprofit world, where her deep compassion towards disadvantaged children finds a focus.

When Zoe falls in love and has her own child, she is determined to be a perfect mother as well. But before long, old scars long dormant begin to pull Zoe to the edge of an abyss too terrifying to contemplate. As Zoe is haunted by the ghosts of the past, her story will become a race against time, and a tale of psychological suspense that no listener will soon forget.

Different and great!!

I love DS stories but this one was different and I loved it!! I started to guess how it was going to end after listening to 25% but I never thought the story would change so dramatically and end like this. Once I realized this was different I couldn’t wait to start listening to it again because I wanted to know how it ended. I actually felt physically scared and nervous a few times ….like I was watching a scary movie on tv😂.

Fascinating book

This was my first time listening in this genre. I found that I always listened through a whole chapter and into the next. The narrator was exceptional. I was completely absorbed in the story and characters.

Brilliant

This book was incredibly written. The subject matter was tough but very well researched and delivered. The read is not for everyone but I applaud Ms. Steele for the absolute best book she has ever written.

Good story

I don’t like a man reading it, it takes away from the female character who is the main character.
