Following the birth of her first child, Cordelia Waters suffers from a severe postpartum psychosis. When six months later, her baby goes missing, Cordelia becomes the prime suspect. Cordelia Waters appears to have the perfect life---a thriving career, a loving marriage to Weston, and a spacious home in the suburbs. United in their ambitions, Cordelia and Weston have always agreed on everything, especially on choosing a child-free existence. That harmony shatters when Cordelia unexpectedly learns she is pregnant. While Weston embraces fatherhood with joy, Cordelia's world is upended by the reality she never wanted. ​Six months after the birth of their daughter Emerald, tragedy strikes: Emerald vanishes from her crib without a trace. As the search unfolds, unsettling questions arise. What happened to Emerald? Why does Cordelia struggle to recall the events of that morning? Suspicion builds as Cordelia's story unravels, and Weston fears the worst---that his wife, battling her own instability, may be responsible for the disappearance. ​Facing mounting pressure and desperate to clear her name, Cordelia launches her own investigation into Emerald's disappearance. She knows that proving her innocence is her only hope. But as the authorities dig deeper, long buried secrets resurface, and Cordelia's grip on reality is tested. Soon, everyone---Weston, the police, and even Cordelia herself---begins to question what is true and what is imagined. ​This psychological suspense novel explores motherhood, marriage, memory, and the complexities of mental health, weaving an intense narrative that challenges every assumption Cordelia---and the reader---holds.

#1 Teen Fiction | #1 Young Adult | #1 Romance "We all need someone to drive us mad." - The Wombats. He stared arrogantly down at me, a smirk plastered across his face. I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us. A part from being tighter than white on rice, we updated our status from friends to being in a relationship, frequently. We were neighbours, which meant our families were all close and even co-owned houses around our town. This, all is, until the day of my sixteenth birthday. Everything changed. The loving relationship we shared, was severed and torn apart. I couldn't hardly stand to look at him any more, without spitting fire that is. Every day is torture being around him. He was in all my classes at school and the window in my room was even directly aligned with his. So, what happens? My mother's mum gets sick, so dad and her fly out. Just them. Leaving me to stay with Carter and his parents, who are never home. We would be alone. In one house. Under the same roof. If I was insane before, I have no idea what I am now. © 2016 by LaurenJ22.
