Emily is back in Ireland after nine long years away from home, when she sees him. Her ex-husband, Rob, holding hands with a five-year-old girl. A girl that should be hers. Over a decade before, Emily and Rob were exhausted but ecstatic new parents, delighting in the arrival of their longed-for baby daughter, Alannah. But tragedy was just a few weeks away, and in their unfathomable grief, Emily and Rob's marriage fell apart. Emily moved to New Zealand to get away – but returning to Dublin nearly a decade later for her mother's funeral, she finds herself face-to-face with her past. The man she loved has a new daughter, beautiful little Molly, and Emily's heart breaks yet again for everything that could have – should have – been. But Rob and Molly's lives aren't without their own misfortunes. Could a second chance at family heal all their broken hearts? Caroline Finnerty's tender and poignant new novel is perfect for fans of Amanda Prowse, Emma Robinson and Alison Ragsdale. Praise for Caroline Finnerty: 'A book that will break your heart and then piece it slowly back together.' Sinead Moriarty 'Touching and poignant, this book took me on an emotional ride. A gripping and absorbing read.' Leah Mercer
