Her older sister Kat is starting university; Dad and Cassy have bought an old house which will be their dream home one day, except that while it's being done up they've all got to live in a tiny caravan. Then a throwaway comment starts Emily thinking about her real mother, who left when Emily was a baby. Who was she? What was she like? Why did she go? Over the years, she has become the unmentionable secret in Emily's family.
And as Emily pieces together a truer, fuller picture of her mother, she also embarks on a new relationship of her own with Seb, a beautiful boy with fine features and expressive dark eyes ...
