Publisher's Synopsis
Cheltenham, 1991: Eva Patterson returns home from work to find her mother, Flora, dead in the bath. Beside her is a note saying: 'Forgive Me'. When Flora leaves her an artist's studio in London, she realises how little she knows about her mother's past. When she visits the now derelict studio, Eva is shocked to find out that her mother was once a successful artist. A chance encounter leads her to Phil, who agrees to help her restore the studio, as well as offering her the advice and friendship Eva so badly needs. Searching for answers, Eva encounters a psychic who warns her to beware of a 'sleeping serpent', which she discovers refers to a shocking crime in Flora's past. Will discovering the truth destroy Eva's belief in everything she holds dear? "An addictive tear-jerker with characters you'll adore, laugh with and cry for." BELLA
