About this listen

From the NUMBER ONE bestselling author of The Last List of Mabel Beaumont comes a powerful story of memory, loss, love, and new beginnings…

When Shelley Woodhouse wakes up in hospital from a coma, the first thing she says is that her husband must be arrested.

He’s the reason she’s in here. She knows it. She remembers what he did. Clearly as anything.

But there are things Shelley has forgotten too, including parts of her childhood. And as those start to come back to her, so do other memories. Ones with the power to change everything.

But can she trust these new memories, or what anyone around her is telling her? And who is the mysterious hospital volunteer who brings her food and keeps making her smile? Is it possible to find your future when you're confused about your past?

An unmissable and heartbreaking story, that fans of David Nicholls, Jojo Moyes and Jodi Picoult will love.

Heartbreaking but brimming with hope. This wonderfully original and deftly crafted story hooked me from the first page. Shelley’s story will stay with me for a long timeNicola Gill

Get your box of tissues ready when you read this book. Laura Pearson has written another beautiful story with a great emotional punch, and I loved every minute of it.

Wonderful story of hope amongst despair

Wonderful story of hope amongst despair. It details the horrors of domestic violence in a really positive way, the author has written this very sensitively and it's a lovely story despite the subject.

The narration was excellent too.

Disturbing

I didn't really enjoy this book because of the domestic abuse content, however it was sensitively covered and well written

Shelley Woodhouse has had her ups and downs

Yet this story gets better and better. It’s beautifully performed and written. Laura Pearson is a lovely empathetic writer as shown in this book also.
