The story fast forwards twenty-six years and we meet Eva, a beautiful young woman with a mysterious past, who's happy life is suddenly shattered by tragedy. When everything seems lost, a man enters her life... a man through whom she will find answers to questions she could never have answered. Eventually there is a comeuppance, part of which happens offstage. Many of the characters we have met and followed during the intervening years never have any idea of what's been going on or how it played out. Great thought went into what word I would use. I thought about using a boy’s name from her school, but this was too big a risk. She might not want to share that with me the next day. It should be a word that normally wouldn’t necessarily be in her dreams, but would be very recognizable. It is quite safe to say that pornographic images have been part of the human race and the human experience since our ancestors first learned to walk upright. Some of the most ancient images found on cave walls have depicted sexual activity, and these early examples are proof positive that adult entertainment and sexual expression are integral parts of what it means to be human.

I am not going to be unfair and give this book a star rating because to be honest I couldn't finish it.I got to chapter 15 and skim read the rest just to find out how it ended.It is pretty easy to work out from the tag lines on the cover what is happening to the sisters and nothing exciting happened,no twists or hooks to make you want to carry on reading.The book is tagged as a psychological thriller but I would put it in the family drama genre,I'm not saying that it isn't well written it just didn't engage me as a reader which is a shame because I was looking forward to reading it. Taking steps to prevent some of these triggers – such as making sure you get enough sleep, and working on strategies to deal with and reduce stress – will often help. What happens when a person sleepwalksIf your child sleepwalks, do not let them sleep on the top bed of a bunk bed. You may want to fit safety gates at the top of the stairs. Mums sister is now living in another city and doesnt have access to the children like she use to, but Ima make sure my other sister knows.

The writing was very good, although the subject was upsetting it was in no way graphic...... but you could still feel the pain and distress through the writing and it did bring a tear.

Beth's reasons for leaving will chill you. So brutal they are that I wondered if I could keep reading a book that would be this sad. Again, you have to trust Laura Elliot because she does nothing gratuitous with her writing. Beth flees to her father, a man who abandoned his family and, it must be said, does not react with much joy at the arrival of his daughter. But Beth creates a new family for herself, even if she can never forget or let go of the horrors that drove her to her father.

Our little sister heroine lives alone with her big brother. She’s quite thankful to him for always working A secret that lies dormant and connects the sisters is something that Elliot has written about with sensitivity, saying that..having been abused as a child myself it did cause a trigger and I found some parts hard to read.
