But when that great day finally arrives, it seems nothing will ever be the same between them again and their difficulties have only just begun. As Alice comes to learn, not all scars are visible, and sometimes those you can’t see are the hardest to heal…

She is over the moon to find she has a cousin, but is she ready to be drawn into the tragedies, secrets – and dangers – of the family’s past?
