About the Book
Four children, three marriages, two secrets, and one unfathomable tragedy: the families at numbers two, four, and six Penwood Heights are connected by work, friendship, the loss of a child, and a secret truth that has sat in the bedrock of their lives for years.
In the center of this tight-knit group is Faith, who believes her job is to act as a paperweight, keeping them all safe. And she does this until someone from her past reappears and threatens to sabotage everything.
And, as the pieces fall, these families, these friends, realise that what they thought they knew about one another was nothing more than make-believe. They also discover that trust is illusory and for Faith, at least, that keeping other people’s secrets can be more dangerous than keeping her own.
