'Not having a child can change your life as much as having one.' Grace has returned to London after twenty years abroad to manage her dying mother's affairs.

She Chose Me

Perfect for fans of T. M. Logan's The Curfew or Alex Stone's The Other Girlfriend. From the bestselling author of The Perfect Holiday comes a twisty psychological thriller, set on the sun drenched shores of France. Three women's lives are about to change forever. The Daughter. My father is innocent. He's spent almost four years behind bars, but now he's getting out. I gave up everything to be there for him, just like he was always there for me. It's all going to be worth it now. The Girlfriend. As soon as I opened the paper that day and saw that picture of Sandy, I didn't care about the story surrounding it. There's no way he hurt that girl. Now he's out, we'll get married and I'll finally get to meet his daughter. There'll be no more hiding our love. The Other Woman. No one knows what happened all those years ago, and the life I built depends on no one finding out. Now he's getting out, my secrets may soon see the light. I can't let that happen. One Loves Him. One Needs Him. One Wants Him DEAD. What readers are saying about T. J. Emerson: 'Wow!

An enormously enjoyable read’ Louise Dean, award-winning author of Becoming Strangers‘If you enjoy tension, suspense and surprise, She Chose Me, Tracey Emerson’s brilliant debut novel is your next favourite read. Emerson ratchets up the suspense from the first page and never lets it go. Dignified by deft and ingenious plotting, forensically insightful characterisation and impeccable prose, this psychological thriller delivers on all levels’ Lesley Glaister, award-winning author of The Squeeze ‘She Chose Me is an accomplished debut that despite being tightly plotted manages to retain a really refreshing rawness... The fastpaced story kept me guessing until the end and raised many thought provoking questions about family, motherhood, rejection and mental health. I do love a story that intrigues as much as it provokes, and to this end Tracey Emerson has scored on both counts. Very well done’ Cath Weeks, author of Mothers‘A great read. I loved the two female protagonists, particularly the brilliantly chilling anti-heroine’ Sarah J. Naughton, author of Tattletale‘Moving, compelling and beautifully written. It deserves to fly off the shelves’ Mel McGrath, author of Give Me the Child
