My Daughter's Lies: A totally gripping and emotional family drama - Paperback

In the middle of my beautiful daughter's eighteenth birthday party, silence falls as I unfold my speech, my heart bursting with everything I want to say. But when I look down I see a note, and my world stops: She's not who you think she is.

Ruby was our miracle baby. I would have done anything to become a mother, and when she finally arrived, I held her in my arms, looked in her blue eyes and swore I would never let anything harm her. Now she's everything I could have dreamed of. I don't even think about all the years of heartache I went through before she was born.

So when I get the strange warning at her birthday party, I ignore it, hiding it in my bag with trembling hands. Someone is simply jealous of her.

But as I watch my daughter, things I've been trying to ignore come flooding back to me - Ruby's odd disappearances, her whispered arguments with her best friend, and a memory from her sixth birthday which still breaks my heart to remember.

I need to know the truth about who she really is, but digging into my daughter's secrets might reveal my own. As the party draws to a close and the confetti is swept away, I gather my courage. I've spent eighteen years trying to forget my own mistakes, and it could only take a moment for everything to fall apart.

Do I risk tearing my family apart to keep my daughter safe? Because when my secrets come out, I could lose my precious girl forever...

A completely compelling and heart-wrenching read about the strength of a mother's love for her child. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Amanda Prowse and Susan Lewis.
