lucky--until her beautiful and highly successful new neighbour Angie

closer, so does their bond.
But the alliance between the families is a wake-up call for both women.

look at her own and accept that it's not as perfect as it seems. Both
women vow to change.
But their decisions may not lead where they expect, in this absorbing
novel about risks and relationships by the author of The Missing
Husband that explores whether the grass is always greener on the other
side of the garden fence . . .
