About the book
Claudia and Garth were the perfect couple, deeply in love and devoted to one another. But they wanted more - a child. Instead, Claudia had a devastating miscarriage. Then a miracle happened, and suddenly the baby they craved was theirs. At last they were a true family. But Claudia and Garth were keeping secrets- from each other and from their child. Which didn't make for a happy family. And when Claudia found out Garth had betrayed her, the family fell apart. Had he betrayed her? He swore not, yet the proof was in their daughter's face. Either way he'd lied. But then, so had she... Now their daughter needs them. And Claudia and Garth must reconcile with the past to ensure their family's future.
