From the bestselling author of The Stolen Child, a brand new gripping and emotional story of loss, family devotion and buried secrets . . .
Journalist Vega Pearse arrives at the home of Anne and John Davis to interview them for a piece she is writing on the local drug crisis.
The devoted couple show Vega around their beautiful blossom tree maze, which sits at the top of their garden. They tell Vega their family's life story and share their devastation at losing a child.
But as they approach the last bench in the maze, Vega starts to suspect there is something they're not telling her.
And secrets, like memories, rarely stay buried for ever . . .
