Set on the grounds of the house is Sive's haven, an artist's studio built for her by Dan. Dan's business is going from strength to strength and they are doing very well financially - or at least that's what Sive believes.But their marriage is tested to its very core when Dan has a car accident. As Dan fights to recover, Sive unravels a trail of deceit and financial chaos that has the power to destroy them. The comfortable life Sive has grown accustomed to evaporates.Sive's life is further complicated by Dan's mother, a formidable woman who rules her clan with an iron fist and has little time for Sive, who she thinks is in a cult because of her bohemian lifestyle, a cult she blames for her son's downward spiral. But as Sive puts the pieces together, she learns the Gallagher clan are hiding a secret, one that will change all of them forever... About the author...
