A #1 New York Times Bestselling Author

Luke and Hannah live a happy and stable life in London, working in jobs they love as they prepare for the arrival of their first child, Samuel. All his life, Luke has known he was adopted, but he's never felt the need to seek out his birth mother — until he becomes a father himself. Spurred by the connection he feels to his son, Luke's search leads him to his birth mother Alice. Their first encounter is surreal, a sharp prick that barely scratches the surface of a painful past that neither of them has fully confronted. As the truth of who Alice is comes to light, she and Luke must reckon with the sacrifices they've made in the pursuit of love and belonging.
