USA TODAY BESTSELLER

In the vein of Big Little Lies and Reconstructing Amelia comes an “atmospheric, absorbing page-turner” (Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times bestselling author) about a mother unraveling the truth behind how her daughter became brain dead. And pregnant.

A search for the truth. A lifetime of lies.

In the small hours of the morning, Abi Knight is startled awake by the phone call no mother ever wants to get: her teenage daughter Olivia has fallen off a bridge. Not only is Olivia brain dead, she’s pregnant and must remain on life support to keep her baby alive. And then Abi sees the angry bruises circling Olivia’s wrists.

When the police unexpectedly rule Olivia’s fall an accident, Abi decides to find out what really happened that night. Heartbroken and grieving, she unravels the threads of her daughter’s life. Was Olivia’s fall an accident? Or something far more sinister?

In this “complex, emotionally intense first novel” (Publishers Weekly), USA TODAY bestselling author Christina McDonald weaves a suspenseful and heartwrenching tale of hidden relationships, devastating lies, and the power of a mother’s love. With flashbacks of Olivia’s own resolve to uncover family secrets, this taut and poignant novel asks: how well do you know your children? And how well do they know you?

So much meaning to those who have lost a child.

While I was reading this I found out that I am a grandma from my son who passed away last year. This book touched my heart 💙 in so many ways.

Good read. If you liked Then She Was Gone, you will enjoy this book also.

good

Rhis was a pretty good story. Narration strange at times but story kept me reading

“The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plane?”— reader, too crisp use of diction!

This is a great story— love the authors descriptiveness and how she handles the plot and timing. The reader did a good job portraying various characters by voice inflection but her overuse of extremely crisp diction was annoying.

Loved it!

Such a heartbreaking story full of love and deceit. I could relate to both main characters. I couldn’t wait to see what happened. Such a powerful story with a touching ending.

Predictable but good.

This book is like a dateline story. You no what’s going to happened but the details is what makes it worth reading. I loved how Olivia and her mother were great detectives 😉

the narrations by each character

enjoyed listening. the book took many twists and turns. Wasn't sure who did it till the end.

Well structured drama with a quality story

This book had me from page 6 onward. Always giving just enough clues to keep you reading on, and on and on. Reality meets politics versus a grieving mother. I was sad to complete it, but it was a very good read

couldn't put it down!

loved this book! It sucks you in and keeps your interest until the very end!

A Winner

I love this author!!! I was sure I knew who did it, but also, I did not!!) I will be following this author!!
