The BRAND NEW gripping and emotional story from Sheila Norton. Perfect for fans of Sam Vickery and Jodi Picoult.

My six-year-old daughter would never hurt anyone. So why has she put her best friend in hospital?

When the school calls to say there’s been an incident, I assume there’s been a mistake. My sweet, gentle little girl has never been in trouble before.

But when I arrive, Millie is in tears. And her best friend Lucy is on her way to hospital.

Millie did this.

She refuses to tell me why. And as I desperately try to understand what happened, I realise there are things going on in my daughter’s life that I knew nothing about.

Has someone been influencing Millie? And how far will they go to stop me discovering the truth?

A gripping, emotional page-turner about the secrets we keep and how far a mother will go to protect her child.
