Andrea knows everything about her mother, Laura. She knows she’ s spent her whole life in the small beachside town of Belle Isle; she knows Laura’ s never wanted anything more than to lead a quiet life in this conventional community; she knows she’ s never kept a secret in her life. Because we all know our mothers, don’ t we?
But all that changes when a trip to the mall explodes into violence and Andrea suddenly sees a completely different side to Laura. Because it turns out that before Laura was Laura, she was someone completely different. For nearly thirty years she’ s been hiding from her previous identity, lying low in the hope that no one would ever find her. But now she’ s been exposed, and nothing will ever be the same again.
The police want answers and Laura’ s innocence is on the line, but she won’ t speak to anyone, including her own daughter. Andrea embarks on a desperate journey following the bread crumb trail of her mother’ s past. Andrea knows that if she can’ t uncover the secrets hidden there, there may be no future for her mother . . . or her.
