"She is an ordinary girl. Or was, until life threw something at her that changed her forever. Unable to return to herself."
****
Laura Knight was only twelve when her father died in a road accident. Four years later, she somehow found herself in almost an identical situation. But this time it wasn't her dad, no it was her mum. And her little sister. And their killer.
Now, living in London with her new family, life was finally getting back on track. That was until Laura started to go through her mum's old stuff. And not only did she find out a few home truths about her dysfunctional deceased family, but also she learned quite a bit about their seemingly dead killer.
But 'what if's and 'but's can ruin lives.
