Publisher's summary
A moment's madness, a lifetime of regret.
Lydia and Bel have been best friends for years, from wild teenage days all the way through to motherhood. Bel becomes pregnant by accident and has a fraught relationship with daughter, Freya, while Lydia and love-of-her-life Mac, after failed fertility treatment, choose to adopt. Gorgeous toddler Chloe challenges them more than either of them had ever expected, and as a teenager her behaviour escalates increasingly out of control, pushing their marriage, and Lydia and Bel's relationship, to breaking point.
A modern tragedy. A harrowing and heartbreaking story of the splinters that can tear mothers and daughters, husbands and wives - and friends - apart.
