About this listen

One mother on the run.

A safe place to hide.

But you can't escape the past forever...

Faye is 39 and single. She's terrified she may never have the one thing she always wanted: a child of her own.

Then she discovers a co-parenting app: Acorns. For men and women who want to have a baby, but don't want to do it alone. When she meets Louis through it, it feels as though the fates have aligned.

But just one year later, Faye is on the run from Louis, with baby Jake in tow. In desperate need of a new place to live, she contacts Rachel, who's renting out a room in her remote Norfolk cottage. It's all Faye can afford - and surely she'll be safe from Louis there?

But is Rachel the benevolent landlady she pretends to be? Or does she have a secret of her own?

Worth a credit definitely. Strong characters, great story, picks up pace the further on you listen. Narration good apart from Fiona who isn't Fiona but that doesn't spoil it too much as she only takes up a small amount of time overall

Very good book 👍

Excellent!

I found most of it predictable and found the narration difficult . I had to jump chapters just to get to the end. It stared out promising but got irritated by the characters but that’s just me. Others have loved it.

This was not for me.
