** Seven-year-old Jocelyn loves her nanny more than her own mother.
When her nanny disappears one night, Jo never gets over the loss.
How could she vanish without saying goodbye?
Thirty years on, Jo is forced to return to her family home and confront her troubled relationship with her mother. When human remains are discovered in the grounds of the house, Jo begins to question everything.
Then an unexpected visitor knocks at the door and Joβs world is destroyed again as, one by one, she discovers her childhood memories arenβt what they seemed.
What secrets was her nanny hiding β and what was she running away from? And can Jo trust what her mother tells her?
Sometimes the truth hurts so much youβd rather hear the lie.
