Overview

Living on the streets is terrifying and exhausting. Grace's only comforts are a steady stream of vodka, and a strange little boy who's following her around. At nineteen, Grace has already had a child and endured an abusive marriage. But she's also had her baby abducted by her vengeful husband and been framed as a neglectful mother. Even her own parents doubted her version of the story. So she did the only thing that made sense to her--run away. The streets are unforgiving. Winter is drawing in. And Grace isn't prepared for the harsh realities of survival. At her very bleakest, a Good Samaritan swoops into her life and rescues her. With a roof over her head and food in her stomach, she longs to see her baby again. But nothing ever comes for free.

Reviews

Heart-breaking and poignant, this beautifully written novel will draw you in and wring you out. I was gripped from the first page. Leah Mercer, author of The Puzzle of You Grace and Serenity is a dark, gripping novel that kept me reading late into the night. Set in Plymouth, a city I know well, this book shines a light on the reality of domestic abuse. It tells the story of a desperate young woman who finds herself on a difficult path, and hurtles towards a thrilling conclusion. A tense and compelling read. Vikki Patis, author of The Girl Across the Street
