'Who would name a child Sunshine, then give her away?'

Chrissie has always wanted to be a mother. After months of trying to adopt, she and her husband Stuart finally get the news that a little girl named Sunshine is waiting for them.

The child comes to them without a history, and it feels like a fresh start for all of them. But when fragments from Sunshine's previous life start to intrude on her new one, the little girl's mysterious past quickly becomes Chrissie's greatest fear ...

Beautiful and compelling, this is a story of hope and love, about finding the perfect family and fighting to keep it, perfect for fans of Dawn French and Ruth Jones

Superbly written, emotionally satisfying and compellingly original The story, and especially Sunshine herself, crept into my mind and heart and took up residence there. A lovely novel, deftly plotted and emotionally involving Secrets simmer beneath the surface of this beautifully crafted novel about love, identity and the meaning of family . . .

Sunshine completely stole my heart' Unputdownable Expand reviews
