Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had taken a week off after Tayo left, and before I began respite fostering I had a chance to clean and air out the bedroom. I took in Jemma, a five-year-old who had been with her carers for six months. Paula and Lucy, my daughters aged 16 and 18, were happy to help with Jemma. #2 I was asked to take care of Daisy, a 15-year-old, for two weeks. I knew from my own experience that it was difficult to find respite carers for teenagers, so I was excited to have her stay with me. #3 I had to set some ground rules for Daisy, while at the same time making her feel welcome. I made her a bedtime drink, and while Lucy and Paula took turns in the bathroom, I sat with her on the breakfast stools in the kitchen and gently explained that there were four of us in this house, and we all had to use the bathroom. #4 I had to accept that the social services thought it was best for Daisy, aged 15, to stay with her boyfriend’s parents. I was frustrated that I hadn’t been able to do my job properly and look after her.

ALICE FEENEYS NEW YORK TIMES AND INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER “Boldly plotted, tightly knotted—a provocative true-or-false thriller that deepens and darkens to its ink-black finale. Marvelous.” —AJ Finn, author of The Woman in the Window My name is Amber Reynolds. There are three things you should know about me: 1. I’m in a coma. 2. My husband doesn’t love me anymore. 3. Sometimes I lie. Amber wakes up in a hospital. She can’t move. She can’t speak. She can’t open her eyes. She can hear everyone around her, but they have no idea. Amber doesn’t remember what happened, but she has a suspicion her husband had something to do with it. Alternating between her paralyzed present, the week before her accident, and a series of childhood diaries from twenty years ago, this brilliant psychological thriller asks: Is something really a lie if you believe it's the truth?
