My first book by Jane Corey and it did not disappoint!

Ellie is in prison for doing something bad, it takes some time to untangle the story. We meet Jo, a homeless woman who is hiding from someone and something that has happened to her.

Ellie believes that her grandson is dead and she is the reason behind this, however it turns out that she has been through a lot of trauma in her life, from her early years when her mother died, to when her stepbrother also died in a tragic accident.

As we follow Ellie’s story we discover how her life has become intertwined with Jo’s and the tragedy surrounding her.

I really enjoyed the twists and turns in this story, it was a great read and I really felt for Ellie and all she had lost in her early childhood and the way she was treated. The aspect of mental illness was handled with great care.
