In the London of the Swinging Sixties, something happened that would haunt Jennifer for the rest of her life.

Now, decades later, and still recovering from her husband’s death, Jennifer starts delving into her past to find the answer to a question that has tormented her for years. But in doing so, she unwittingly opens a Pandora’s box that will affect not just her own life, but that of her two daughters.

Eldest daughter, Kate, is at a crossroads. With a marriage that seems to have stalled, a chance meeting with an enigmatic stranger gives her a glimpse into another, more exciting future. But there is something about him that Kate doesn’t know.

Meanwhile, younger daughter Amy’s charmed existence is thrown into disarray when her husband’s devastating secret is revealed. Can Amy find the strength to stop her family from imploding?

Mothers, daughters, secrets, lies. Can you ever keep the past under lock and key?

‘Stay Close To Me’ was released as ‘I.O.U.’ in hardback.
