Close My Eyes - by Sophie McKenzie (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Everything she knows about her life is a lie.
When Geniver gave birth to a stillborn daughter, her whole world came crashing down. Eight years later, she and her husband, Art, have slipped into the kind of rut that seems inescapable. But then a stranger shows up at their home, telling Gen the very thing she's always wanted to hear...
How far will she go to learn the truth?
It's insane, unbelievable: Who could have taken her baby away--and why? Soon a fissure opens up in Gen's carefully reconstructed life, letting in a flood of even more unanswerable questions: Why is Art so reluctant to help--to save his wife from further hurt, or is he involved in something more sinister? In her desperate search for Beth, who may or may not be alive, Gen must delve into the deepest, darkest corners of her own past...and what she finds there could destroy everything she holds close. Even her own life...
From Sophie McKenzie, author of Girl, Missing, Close My Eyes is a deeply chilling and addictively compelling page-turner that grabs onto you and doesn't let go.
