Thank you @bookmarked for this gifted book.

Two women will do whatever it takes to protect their own – no matter the cost to anyone else.

Cerys leaves her life behind in a fiery wreck. Lily slips away from hers early one morning, silent as a shadow. Both are mothers. And both are desperate.

When the two women are thrown into each other’s paths, they strike a tentative bond. Cerys is a mother with no children to care for anymore, and Lily is doing all she can to take care of a four-year-old on her own. But each keep secrets from the beginning—the scars, the loneliness, and, most importantly, who they actually are. They need to work together to survive, but how can they trust each other? Because everybody knows: the longer a secret is kept, the worse its consequences will be when the truth comes out.

As the past catches up with them in the form of a deranged father with a shotgun, Lily especially finds herself backed into a corner. But mothers will do what they must to protect their children, no matter who else gets hurt along the way.

I found this to be an emotional story about two women, at two stages of life, running from difficult circumstances. While the themes of domestic abuse, motherhood, and marriage run deep, this has all the tension of a domestic thriller.

You will be engrossed in these characters, you may even relate in some aspects, and you certainly will need to know what happens next.
