‘Picoult takes a red-hot topic and turns it into a gripping and thought-provoking novel’ Sunday Express
Andrew Hopkins lovingly raised his daughter Delia by himself, allowing her to believe they lost Delia’s mother in a car accident twenty-seven years ago.
But as Delia is preparing herself for the next chapter in her life, a policeman knocks on the door and reveals a terrible secret: that Andrew kidnapped his four-year-old daughter and led Delia’s mother to believe she was dead.
Andrew is behind bars, and there is no doubt in anyone’s mind that he is guilty. But does that mean that what he did wasn’t right?
