Adele just has to prove it, even if it puts her own life in terrible danger.
Her mother was telling the truth.
Yet as Adele begins to unravel the layers of deceit, the tissue paper lies begin to fragment and her own relationship starts to break down.
The diary is just a story, they say.
No-one wants the truth to be told.
Old memories are stirring up fresh wounds.
But news of Adele\'s arrival and the diary spread like wildfire amongst the small close-knit community.
Born into a Mother and Baby home run by Gloria Thornton, Adele needs to first unlock the disturbing chain of events that led to her own birth if she is to understand what happened to her mother.
She has one purpose: to find those who carried out the devastating attack on her mother.
With her mother\'s words etched in her mind and in the pages tucked into her jacket pocket, Adele delays joining her fianc for a new life abroad and returns to Reedstown, the last place her mother, Marianne, was seen alive.
