Liv’s created the life she wants. She’s no longer the brunt of the island’s gossip, her baking business is taking off, and her marriage to Thomas, the love of her life, is rock solid… or so she thinks. When she discovers that Thomas is yearning for a child, she’s devastated. They planned for a family of two. Liv and Thomas. Always and only.

Liv’s worked hard to change, but she could never be a stable, reliable mother. She knows it… and so does everyone on the island except Thomas. A baby isn’t something you just try out. But will telling Thomas no cause Liv to lose the best thing that’s ever happened to her?

Liv's adoptive mother, Della, is learning how to navigate life without her deceased husband, Carson. But after Della discovers an envelope in the attic filled with newspaper clippings about Liv's biological parents, Carson begins to visit Della from the grave. Secrets from the past crash through to the present, even as Della furiously tries to ignore them. What really happened on the day Della and Carson first held Liv?

Heartbreaking and heart mending... an unputdownable, poignant story of motherlove, deep-rooted friendships, and second chances.
