About this audiobook

When a tree is ready to topple, the weight of one bough breaking will bring it crashing down. For a family with something to hide, memories can be as destructive as a gale.

In April 1972, Maureen buries her husband on her allotment and pretends he's run away, leaving her to care for their ten-year-old twins, Lucy and Carol. But living a lie gets harder as time goes by.

For years, Maureen has kept her secrets close, but now, she's ready to talk. The question is, who is listening, and will they unearth the truth?
