<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Mary has a secret that she mustn't tell. But in a care home, with her mind wandering, she's starting to slip up. Clearing out her grandmother's old room, Lucy finds something hidden that wasn't supposed to be found - a locket sheltering a shameful family secret. She can't tell her mother. Not with their father gone, one brother absent and another acting up. Her mother was struggling with her mental health just a few years ago. Lucy will have to make sense of it all herself. In a beautifully told drama of family secrets, Helen Stancey once again picks through the everyday of life to uncover poetry, pain and ultimately love.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[A] clever and compelling tale concerning the nature of love, family bonds and companionship, one that will live long in the memory of this reviewer." --Sarah Morgan, <i>Yorkshire Magazine</i><br><br>"A tender, and uplifting exploration of the mysteries and meaning of family, for three generations of women striving to fulfil their destinies." --Rebecca Fraser, author, <i>The Mayflower</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Helen Stancey</b> is the author of two novels, <i>Words </i>(1983) and <i>Common Ground</i> (1986), and a collection of short stories, <i>The Madonna of the Pool.</i> During the earlier years of her writing career Helen produced mostly poetry as well as some short dramatic pieces.
