From the author of the bestselling One Moment, One Morning comes another beautiful, bittersweet novel set in Brighton.
Three people, each crying out for help . . .
There's Karen, worried about her dying father; Abby, whose son has autism and needs constant care; and Michael, a family man on the verge of bankruptcy. As each sinks under the strain, they're brought together at Moreland's Clinic. Here, behind closed doors, they reveal their deepest secrets, confront and console one another and share plenty of laughs. But how will they cope when a new crisis strikes?

An engrossing, bittersweet read peppered with moments of intense beauty... as compelling as any thriller I've read in the past year. Add to this sensitivity, humour and tender insightfulness and you've an absolute corker of a novel -- Laura Wilkinson, author of PUBLIC BATTLES, PRIVATE WARS
Sarah Rayner doesn't just tell a great story, she speaks to the vulnerabilities in all of us. Heartwarming and suspenseful -- Bobbie Darbyshire, author of LOVE, REVENGE AND BUTTERED SCONES
Written with great insight... It dealt with the area of mental health sensitively but with raw deep emotion -- charlenejess.wordpress.com
A thought-provoking book. Rayner's exploration of the issues faced by three very everyday people puts the issue of mental health at the centre of worlds which appear cosy and stable. It makes you realise that the line between fine and needing help is very fine indeed -- Lizzie Enfield, author of LIVING WITH IT
I'd highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys strong, character-driven drama. Very moving, sad and funny -- beingannereading.blogspot.com
Intertwining narratives move the plot on at a brisk pace and, despite the subject matter, this becomes an uplifting rather than depressing read as the likeable key characters form friendships and learn strategies to help them return to an even keel. Rayner understands her subject well and has written an enjoyable and insightful narrative which gently, but expertly, probes this often avoided, certainly less charted, emotional territory * Press Association *
