What if the person you thought you knew best turns out to be someone you never knew at all...? Andrea knows everything about her mother, Laura. She knows she s spent her whole life in the small beachside town of Belle Isle; she knows she s never wanted anything more than to live a quiet life as a pillar of the community; she knows she s never kept a secret in her life. Because we all know our mothers, don t we? But all that changes when a trip to the mall explodes into violence and Andrea suddenly sees a completely different side to Laura. Because it turns out that before Laura was Laura, she was someone completely different. For nearly thirty years she s been hiding from her previous identity, lying low in the hope that no one would ever find her. But now she s been exposed, and nothing will ever be the same again. The police want answers and Laura's innocence is on the line, but she won t speak to anyone, including her own daughter. Andrea is on a desperate journey following the breadcrumb trail of her mother s past. And if she can t uncover the secrets hidden there, there may be no future for either one of them...
