Publisher's Synopsis
I've seen her a thousand times. Running through the blue shadows in the rain. Stopped by a screech of brakes and my voice shouting. Stopped by the sudden boom of my heart.
On a quiet road just outside London, in the blue half-light of dusk, a car accident will change the lives of two families forever.Jack Philips is a happily married policeman with two small daughters, but the accident forces him to reassess everything he loves - and to confront long-buried secrets.
For Lisa Jenkins, the devastation seems almost unbearable. Until she discovers an inner strength she never knew she had - and the courage to change her life completely.
This heartbreaking but ultimately uplifting debut novel explores the ripple effects of a single moment of tragedy - the journey from guilt to peace, from vengeance to forgiveness, from grief to hope - and even, ultimately, to joy.
