Fans of Liane Moriarty, Nicole Trope and The Silent Daughter will be gripped from the very first page until the final, heart-stopping twist.
with her father now too ill to tell his story himself, will Carla be able to discover the truth about what happened to the child who vanished-and give CeCe the answers she\'s been seeking for forty years? A heart-wrenching and emotionally charged novel about small-town secrets and the price of facing up to the truth.
But as Carla delves further into her father\'s past she realises he may actually have known more than he has ever said-and that perhaps the answers CeCe so desperately seeks have been hidden here in this house all along.
The whole town is haunted by the memory of that summer: of the boy who was never found.
Her father was barely more than a child himself at the time, but it\'s clear the disappearance affected him strongly.
Then, sorting through her father\'s house, Carla discovers a box of diaries and newspaper clippings from the year CeCe\'s son went missing.
Because nearly forty years before her only son disappeared without trace, from this same small town.
CeCe understands loss too.
So she\'s glad when she meets a kindly older woman named CeCe , and they develop a warm, natural friendship.
When Carla returns to her father\'s house to care for him in his final days, she feels lost and heartbroken.
And though I was usually so protective, I let him...
He\'d been so excited to go out by himself- like a big boy .
For me it was letting my son pedal away on his bike that hot summer day.
