No! a Lesson in Love

‘Twist after twist!... I loved this. Kept me going through the early hours of a sleepless night.’ I’m Reading ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘My name is Phoebe Locklear. I think I’m your daughter.’ I rehearse the words as I walk up the path, clutching a faded old photograph of a little girl with thick dark hair. When I knock, the door opens, and there she is: the woman I believe is my mother. The woman whose five-year-old daughter disappeared fifteen years ago. Had I known what would happen next, would I have knocked on that door? Would I take back the lives I’ve destroyed? But now that I’ve started, there’s no going back. I can’t stop until I find out who I really am. Even if the truth could kill me.
