I deserve all this because I did the worst thing a woman can do. The very worst.
Jessica's wedding was like a fairytale. Her dress strewn with crystals. Her dad made a tearful speech. Her husband Matthew declared himself the luckiest man alive.
But when their beautiful baby girl is born, Jessica is gripped by panic. She can't tell anyone how she feels. Even when her life starts to spiral out of control...
This is her story. A mother's story.
Über den Autor / die Autorin
Amanda Prowse kündigte vor fünf Jahren ihren Job als Unternehmensberaterin, um sich fortan nur noch dem Schreiben zu widmen. All ihre Bücher haben drei Dinge gemeinsam: Sie halten uns nachts davon ab, die Nachttischlampe auszuknipsen. Sie erzählen Geschichten, die mitten aus dem Leben gegriffen sind. Sie bewegen uns zutiefst und rühren uns zu Tränen.

Jessica is expecting her first child. But why isn't she transformed by maternal feelings? Where is the all-consuming love she's supposed to feel for her child? No-one told her you don't always love your baby. Perhaps its best if Jessica keeps that dark secret to herself for now...
