Yet as storm clouds gather above our small wedding ceremony, my hopes and dreams fall apart. None of my husband's family turn up to support us. Instead of a honeymoon, we have a quiet night in. My wedding bouquet is placed on his first wife's grave. And then my new stepson tells me he's sure his mother is still alive.
What does Noah remember and why is his father trying to make him forget? Have I been completely wrong about my husband? What happened to the woman who came before me, and how far will he go to stop me finding out the truth?
