Alice, a seemingly relatable, harried working mum, has some dark secrets in her past that may be about to spill over into her present life with her second husband and two daughters. What happened with old flame David, who turns up as a client who wants more than design advice? How did her first husband die? What's going on at her younger daughter's school -- bullying or something more sinister? Is Alice's shy protegee at her design firm too good to be true? Sandie Jones skillfully teases the reader with subtle hints at a buried tragedy resurfacing in the have-it-all life Alice has rebuilt with Nathan...will she make the right choices to protect her family? Those scattered flowers on the cover evoke broken dreams -- the end of something beautiful.
