About this audiobook
You’ll never see the twist coming in this gripping novel of love and loss by bestselling author Christina McKenna.
Rita-Mae has lived in fear for as long as she can remember. Fear of being alone, fear of her past and, above all, fear of her husband, Harry. Until she spots an advertisement for a vacant cottage in a small town in Northern Ireland. She makes her escape filled with hope, ready to start a new life in a new home, free from the pain of her past. But her place of refuge may not be as safe—or as anonymous—as she thought.
In another small town, Dorrie wakes up unaware of where she is or how she got there. Adrift in a world for which she has no explanation, she needs to find answers quickly—before her shadowy past catches up with her.
Walled in by secrets and with no one to trust, both Rita-Mae and Dorrie are unsure how to move forward. Can each woman face her inner demons and confront a menacing presence from the past once and for all? Or will the past unravel their second chance at life?

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I’m finding this a hard book to review. It was another one I picked up on a whim because I don’t have enough in my TBR pile. It was hard to get into and I really did not care for the characters, especially Rita Mae and Dorrie. The story seemed interesting enough and The writing was decent but overall I struggled to finish it. I guessed the ending well before it was revealed, which is fine- it happens, but it just made me want to stop reading the book sooner. Not much else to say but really.
