Families have secrets they hide even from themselves...
It should have been an ordinary birth, the start of an ordinary happy
family. But the night Dr David Henry delivers his wife's twins is a night
that will haunt five lives for ever.
For though David's son is a healthy boy, his daughter has Down's syndrome.
And, in a shocking act of betrayal whose consequences only time will
reveal, he tells his wife their daughter died while secretly entrusting her
care to a nurse.
As grief quietly tears apart David's family, so a little girl must make her
own way in the world as best she can.
