Description
A compelling mystery about family grudges, secrets, love and betrayals from the gripping and thought-provoking pen of bestselling Australian author Fiona Lowe.
A stroke of good luck turns into a nightmare...
Amelia Schofield has been living the high life as a fashion and make-up influencer, but when her footballer husband dies in suspicious circumstances her life changes dramatically. Hunted by the press and trolled on social media, she loses her lucrative sponsorship deals and her so-called friends. Broke and isolated, she is forced to move with her young son to a remote Victorian town to lay low and start over.
When Amelia discovers cash and a valuable necklace hidden inside her op-shop couch, she's delighted with the unexpected windfall, but the joy is short-lived. Soon she finds herself enmeshed in a decades-old family feud that exposes lost love, lies and betrayals. But that's nothing compared to the danger she faces when she unwittingly disturbs a much darker and more sinister crime ...
A Note From the Publisher

Described as gripping, thought-provoking, heart-warming and ultimately uplifting, Lowe's books have been praised for their emotional depth. She has won the prestigious USA RITA award and two Australian RuBY awards.
