Three women. One life-changing secret. Will honesty bind them together or tear them apart?
Desperate to escape mounting debt, Charlie agrees to become a surrogate for driven, elegant Suzie, whose dreams of motherhood have been dashed by years of failed IVF. Meanwhile, Dawn, Suzie’s steadfast university friend, faces personal upheaval: a crumbling marriage and an intimidating medical diagnosis.
As Charlie’s pregnancy progresses, the women’s lives grow increasingly intertwined, revealing old betrayals and hidden connections. At a pivotal celebration, long-held secrets threaten their fragile unity—but also offer the possibility of forgiveness and fresh starts.
Perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes and Marian Keyes, this is a powerful story of friendship, motherhood, and second chances.
“Without each other, I think the outcomes for Charlie, Dawn and Suzie would have been very different. It’s their dynamic that works.” Reader review
