How far would you go to save your life?
Newly married, newly pregnant, Lucy Robin is having trouble remembering the little things. Like what day she’s due to visit her mother. Or where she left her shoes. Or whether she’s left the gas hob on.
Forgetting the little things is annoying, but the more it happens, the more scared she gets. As her world gets smaller, soon both Lucy’s life, and that of her unborn baby, are placed in danger.
But is there something more sinister behind Lucy’s forgetfulness? Her husband doesn’t think so. And Adam always knows best…
Travel Guide
Places of note in the novel:
West Kirby
“West Kirby was on the exposed western tip of the Wirral, a peninsula pinched between the fingers of the Dee and Mersey estuaries and there was little to stop the storm sweeping in from the Irish Sea”
Cheshire – Sandstone Trail
Adam takes her here as they spent time here on their first date. “One of their first stopping points had been a craggy outcrop on the sandstone ridge that ran from Frodsham to Whitchurch. Adam had lured her to the edge to take in the stunning view across the Cheshire plains and towards Liverpool, not realizing how she had trembled in fear. It was there, on the spot they now referred to as Heart’s Leap, that she had told him about their father, and if she wasn’t mistaken, it pinpointed the exact moment they had fallen in love”
