Jodi Picoult, bestselling author of Wish You Were Here.\n\nHer courage to cross oceans.\nHer hope for a better life.\nHer love for a daughter, above all else.\n\nNot all tragedies make headlines, not every voice is heard.\n\nNisha has crossed oceans to give her child a future. Now she spends her days caring for someone else's daughter while her own waits for her return, half a world away.\n\nFor Petra, it is only natural to hire a domestic worker to keep her house clean and her family fed. Their lives have nothing in common, except the love they feel for their daughters.\n\nThen one day, Nisha vanishes. No one cares about the disappearance of a foreign domestic worker, except Petra and Nisha's secret lover, Yiannis, the only connection to her daughter back in Sri Lanka.\n\nAs Petra and Yiannis desperately search for Nisha, they realise how little they knew about her. What they uncover will change them both forever.\n\nInspired by true stories of love and loss, hope and refuge, this evocative masterpiece from the million-copy bestselling author of The Beekeeper of Aleppo, Christy Lefteri, is an illuminating story of the power of the human spirit, and the enduring love of a mother for her child, that will stay with you long after you finish reading.\n\nPraise for Christy Lefteri:\n\n'This thought-provoking novel of love loss and redemption is thoroughly sublime.'
