A DEVOTED MOTHER
Sam Cooper has a happy life: a good job, a blossoming relationship. Yet, there’s something he can
never forget – the image seared into his mind of his mother, Laurie, dying when he was a child. His

A LOVING WIFE
Until an unexpected call from Firwood hospital, asking Sam to come home, puts in motion a chain of
devastating events. On his deathbed, Sam’s father makes a shocking confession.
A LIAR?
Who was Laurie Cooper? It’s clear that everything Sam thought he knew about his mother was
wrong. And now he’s determined to find out exactly what she did and why – whatever the cost.
What happens if you discover you’ve been lied to by your own family for twenty-five years?
Sam Cooper is about to find out.
