In this newest domestic thriller/mystery from Sandie Jones, we meet two sisters, Kate & Lauren who have grown apart over the years and are struggling in the wake of their father Harry's death. Their weekly family dinner at their mother's home is interrupted by a stranger named Jess who arrives claiming to be Harry's biological daughter. One sister believes it to be true, the other vehemently denies it. His wife (and their mother) says it absolutely cannot be true.

What ensues is an uncovering of who Jess really is and how this long-lost half-sister came to be! Someone isn't telling the truth and it seems that everyone knows more than they're admitting about the past.

Told in alternating perspectives between the two sisters, this suspenseful tale highlights how family secrets come to light. An interesting twist to have DNA testing and ancestry kits play a role in bringing secrets to light.
