Description

What if everything you thought you knew about your life was a lie?

Lauren is adopted and eager to know more about her mysterious past. But when she discovers she may have been snatched from her family as a baby, her whole life suddenly feels like a sham. Why will no one answer her questions? How can she find her biological parents? And could her adoptive parents really have been responsible for kidnapping her?

Running away from her family to seek out the truth, Lauren’s journey takes her deeper and deeper into danger as she realises that someone wants to stop her uncovering what really happened when she was a baby… at any cost…

A nail-biting YA thriller from the bestselling author of Close My Eyes

This bench is indeed a lovely part of her legacy & features wonderful etchings of protists, some of the smallest organisms on Earth. 🦠 @biouea https://twitter.com/Ians4AD/status/1542941634710618113

I'm 600 miles away from our own bookshop so even though I'm not usually involved in the running of our shop (despite working from the basement) I'm really missing being around all the wonderful things @leanne_cork does with the community. Here's today's epic thing! Dan❤️🌈

I feel totally overwhelmed after the success of @HobartHigh’s first ever Pride picnic. Our students embraced the event with open arms. A huge thanks to @NorfolkLgbt @proudcanaries and @Bookbugsdragon1 for joining us. Feel honoured to work with such amazing staff and students.
