Synopsis: In the small hours of the morning, Abi Knight is startled awake by the phone call no mother ever wants to get: her teenage daughter Olivia has fallen off a bridge. Not only is Oliva brain dead, she's pregnant and must remain on life support to keep her baby alive. And then Abi sees the angry bruises encircling Olivia's wrists.

When the police unexpectedly rule Olivia's fall an accident, Abi decides to find out what really happened that night. Heartbroken and grieving, she unravels the threads of her daughter's life. Was Olivia's fall an accident? Or something far more sinister?

Review: This novel touched me on so many levels, as a daughter, a sister, a mother. . .I felt for each of these characters. 

I tend to avoid books with alternating chapters, but this proves that sometimes that style/device works well.

One of the best books I've read so far this year.
