Emotional, powerful, unforgettable. From a stunning new literary talent, you won't be able to put down this novel about a mother's love for her children - it will break your heart. Ava and her two young sons, Max and Teddy, are driving to their new home in Sheerwater, hopeful of making a fresh start in a new town, although Ava can't but help keep looking over her shoulder. They're almost at their destination when they witness a shocking accident - a light plane crashing in the field next to the road. Ava stops to help, but when she gets back to the car, she realises that somewhere, amongst the smoke, fire and confusion, her sons have gone missing. For readers of Mark Brandi's Wimmera, Stephanie Bishop's The Other Side of the World and Emily Maguire's An Isolated Incident, this is a beautifully written, propulsive, tense, gut-wrenching and unputdownable novel that grips the reader from its powerful opening chapter to its devastating, gasp-out-loud, nail-biting conclusion. This is an aching, powerful story from a substantial new Australian writing talent of the insidiousness of domestic abuse and the heroic acts we are capable of in the name of love.

A powerful story of 2 innocent little boys, caught in the crossfire of a violent breakup. Ava is fleeing her abusive husband and taking her boys to start a new life in the safety of a new town. When her children disappear from the car during an emergency the hunt begins to find them. This book gripped me from the first page and I literally could not put it down. Well written with a suspenseful plot the story keeps you turning those pages.

Bookzombie I‘m very distracted by the piece of cake. 🤤 4y

I love this quote. I remember feeling that way when I got out of a bad relationship.

CarolynM @LeeRHarry This staying-at-home lark is making me long for the days saying "Let's go for a drive" on the weekend. I want to drive on the Great Ocean Road right now! 4y
LeeRHarry @CarolynM me too - although at least the wind and rain would probably put me off today! 😆 4y
CarolynM Sun's shining now though. Ah, Melbourne...🙂 4y
