'Lily Charlton, successful business owner & wife, is living an ideal life. That is until she receives a phone call from the two people she never expected to hear from again – her sisters.

'Caught between wanting to remain in her current life & getting to the bottom of their five-year estrangement, Lily reluctantly travels with her sisters to their family’s beach house at the request of their mother Gina.

'With Gina avoiding her daughters, the sisters spend the week uncovering truths about themselves, on top of unearthing their mother’s teenage diaries.

'They are faced with two options:

'To respect their mother’s privacy or read Gina’s most sacred and personal thoughts.

'Could Gina’s diaries shed light on their mother’s behaviour, past and present?

'Could it explain why she is avoiding them now?

'One family, over two generations, struggle with an array of emotions: love, trust & betrayal.

'Will they ever find the forgiveness in their hearts to move on.' (Publication summary)
