“I couldn’t put this down . . . Loved this! This is a really gripping story . . . I was addicted from the start.” —Amazon reviewer, five stars A mother is gripped by fear as her daughter approaches adulthood, in this novel of attachments, anxieties, and buried secrets . . . How far would you go to protect your daughter? Catherine’s daughter is about to leave for university. Although she knows worrying about this is normal, she’s becoming increasingly anxious about Anya’s safety. And that anxiety is starting to take over her life . . . She’s fallen back into a habit of going into Anya’s bedroom when she sleeps to watch her breathe, and is secretly tracking her daughter’s movements on an app. Anya, struggling with her mum’s suffocating behaviour, hides her own anxieties about leaving home for fear of panicking her mother further. But with Anya preparing to move out, who will check on her and keep her safe? Do other people pose a threat or is her own mother the one she should be afraid of?
