The one thing keeping her family together is the lie that could tear them apart . . .

After decades in a deeply unhappy marriage, Annie Doyle can barely bring herself to care that her husband Vince is finally about to die.

As Annie’s long-held secrets start to emerge, the lives of everyone she holds dear – her sons, her friends, even her loyal dog Finn – will be changed for ever.
