Publisher's Synopsis
When Stella Swift is discovered holding a shard of broken glass near her new-born baby, fears that she might harm William result in her being taken to Catcombe - the local asylum. Turning to his kind-hearted sister-in-law Grace for help taking care of his other three children whilst he keeps working at the mine seems like the simplest solution for her husband Tom if only there wasn't the shared history between them... At first Catcombe seems to offer the respite Stella needs until one day she becomes convinced that the baby the nurses have given to her is not William. Is Stella losing her mind? Or will a mother always know her own child?
