Book description
I've seen her a thousand times. Running through the blue shadows in the
rain. Stopped by a screech of brakes and my voice shouting. Stopped by
the sudden boom of my heart. On a quiet road just outside London, in the
blue half-light of dusk, a car accident will change the lives of two
families forever. Jack Philips is a happily married policeman with two
small daughters, but the accident forces him to reassess everything he
loves - and to confront long-buried secrets. For Lisa Jenkins, the
devastation seems almost unbearable. Until she discovers an inner
strength she never knew she had - and the courage to change her life
completely. This heartbreaking but ultimately uplifting debut novel
explores the ripple effects of a single moment of tragedy - the journey
from guilt to peace, from vengeance to forgiveness, from grief to hope -
and even, ultimately, to joy.
Elizabeth Diamond lives in Devon, England. She has found her
