When all that you know comes crashing down, do you run? Or face the truth?

Ruby Cardel has the semblance of a normal life – a loving boyfriend, a fulfilling career – but in one terrible moment, her life unravels. The discovery that the death of her sister, Jamie, was not an accident makes her question all she’s known about herself and her past.

Travelling back home to Lyrebird Hill, Ruby begins to remember the year that has been forever blocked in her memory . . . Snatches of her childhood with beautiful Jamie, and Ruby’s only friendship with the boy from the next property, a troubled foster kid.

Then Ruby uncovers a cache of ancient letters from a long-lost relative, Brenna Magavin, written from her cell in a Tasmanian gaol where she is imprisoned for murder. As she reads, Ruby discovers that her family line is littered with tragedy and violence.

Slowly, the gaps in Ruby’s memory come to her. And as she pieces together the shards of truth, what she finally discovers will shock her to the core – about what happened to Jamie that fateful day, and how she died.

A thrilling tale about family secrets and trusting yourself

I won a pack of books and this was one I had already bought.

Took this one to meetup today

Really enjoyed this tale.

Taking back to meetup today.

Picked up at the BC Bris meet... I didn't need another book but couldn't resist the lure of this one. I have promised to read and return for another BC Bris meet soon, so this may have to go onto my bedside table Mt TBR so it doesn't languish too long :) Thanks for sharing.

I finally re-found this book languishing for far too long on my shelf. Took it to a BC Bris meet but had started reading it on the train on the way up, so when it wasn't taken I kept it to read on the way home again.

Really interesting read. Kept me guessing all the way through. Sometimes the time jumps were a bit distracting but I really liked both storylines.

Thanks for sharing Wombles, sorry it waited so long to be released.

This book has languished on my shelves for far to long so time to release.
I'll drop it on a table or seat between Big W and The Kitchens.
Thanks for sharing, hope it finds a new reader and keeps travelling :)
