Years later, Rebecca’s daughters Iris and Jessie know their mother will never speak of that terrible night. But when Jessie goes missing, with her gravely ill newborn, Iris realises the past may hold the key to her sister’s disappearance.
With Jessie in trouble, Iris must unravel a twisting story of love and betrayal in her mother’s family history.

The location and the cottage and farm in this story is fictional but that doesn’t detract from the wonderful evocative atmosphere of a cottage which plays such an important role in the lives of three women across the years.
We time travel through 1945 to 1952, 1960 and 2014 -but everything comes back to Seaview Cottage. What role does the cottage play in a mother’s life? What links its past and present? What will Seaview finally reveal the truth that has remained hidden for so long?
