Publisher's Summary
Caroline Overington's best seller is a heart-breaking, utterly compelling novel of a family ripped apart.
It was four o'clock in the morning. A young woman pushed through the hospital doors. Staff would later say they thought the woman was a new mother, returning to her child - and in a way, she was.
She walked into the nursery, where a baby girl lay sleeping. The infant didn't wake when the woman placed her gently in the shopping bag she had brought with her. There is CCTV footage of what happened next, and most Australians would have seen it, either on the internet or the news.
The woman walked out to the car park, towards an old Corolla. For a moment, she held the child gently against her breast and, with her eyes closed, she smelled her. She then clipped the infant into the car, got in and drove off.
That is where the footage ends. It isn't where the story ends, however. It's not even where the story starts.

A++++ for story and narration
Tai Hara’s voice lures you into the story and keeps you transfixed. He could read a dishwasher repair manual out loud and I would listen to the entire thing. What a wonderful narrator for such a beautiful, roller coaster of emotions, story.

Such a heartbreaking, yet touching story.
I had tears streaming down my face by the end...such a sad tale. Narrator was indeed easy to listen to, just love that Aussie accent!

Very Emotional
This book was weird at first but then I got right into it. Some parts frustrated me with the, “and then I said and then she said” but then I forgot about all that. I cried with laughter, I cried with sadness and I cried with happiness. Excellent book.

Well told but a little depressing
Performances are brilliant as is the story - I just found the story very intense so I had to take breaks

Excellent listening!!
Just wow! This book starts out with a man writing a letter to a judge, for an unknown reason. The entire book is a letter. But what an emotional journey that letter takes you on. The ending was a surprise. Unpausable!!! Listened in one day! The narration is very well done. This book will stay with me for a long while.
