When a mother brings her 10-month-old baby into A&E with a skull fracture, surely it’s right to raise questions? But what if the mother was your friend? A friend you have always thought of as a model parent–even trusted with your own children. And yet, something is telling you, her story doesn’t add up…

Sarah Vaughan’s latest novel markets itself as a psychological thriller, but is more of an exploration of the intensity of motherhood, asking the reader to question the delicate line between maternal love and sanity. Thought provoking and delicately executed, this beautifully written character drama paints a cautionary portrait of motherhood with recognisable characters you’ll want to rally with and reprimand throughout.
