Summary
From bestselling author Amanda Prowse comes a tale of a blissful life, a happy marriage, a beloved son…and a tragedy that destroys it all.
When Rachel Croft wakes up on her family’s boat in Bermuda, it’s to sunshine and yet another perfect day…until she goes to wake her seven-year-old son, Oscar. Because the worst thing imaginable has happened. He isn’t there.
In the dark and desperate days that follow, Rachel struggles to navigate her grief. And while her husband, James, wants them to face the tragedy together, Rachel feels that the life they once shared is over. Convinced that their happy marriage is now a sham, and unable to remain in the place where she lost her son, she goes home to Bristol alone.
Only when she starts receiving letters from Cee-Cee, her housekeeper in Bermuda, does light begin to return to Rachel’s soul. She and James both want to learn to live again - but is it too late for them to find a way through together?

extremely sad
if you have lost a child, this book is very depressing and not a good book if you already suffer with depression.

Went on and on
Too sentimental and wal!owing in misery for me. I like an inspirational !ife and this had none of that. I guess if you have lost a child it would be good to read that you are not alone.

Yet another hit by Amanda Prowse.
A very moving storyline, so beautifully written and narrated. It is a stark reminder of how grateful one should be to have healthy, adult children and in turn beautiful grandchildren, but not to take any if it for granted. Also should we be in conversation with anyone, who may have had such things snatched away from them, help with appropriate actions and words.

Be prepared
This book is incredibly deep in looking at the emotions of tragedy, the way it shows the perspectives of each individual involved. I found myself unable to stop listening to it but it has left its mark on me, I still think about it months later. I really experienced the loss too, the sadness sits with me. This shows a very able writer to touch people so deeply, but consider your vulnerability before reading this and it's definitely not one to read when you are on holiday.
