Stella is a psychotherapist and happily married mother with a young son. But when a new patient arrives, Stella’s life is turned upside down. Stella believes Isabelle is her long lost daughter Alice, who disappeared tragically as a baby over twenty years ago. Alice is believed to have drowned, but her body was never found and this lead Stella to believe that she is still alive. Everyone in Stella’s life believes she is delusional, but Stella will do anything to find out if Isabelle is really Alice. Stella is going to endanger herself and her family poking her nose into someone else’s life.

I found this novel started quite slowly for me, but I did understand that we needed some background on all the characters. Once Stella gets it in her head that Isabelle is really her daughter Alice, things really start to pick up. I enjoyed the writing in this novel and Stella and Isabelle’s characters and the different lives that they lived. I really enjoyed that this book was told from three different perspectives and the three women who have the most to lose. I also really enjoyed that two of the narrators are very unreliable and you’re never quite sure which person is the sane one. I really enjoyed the ending and how it all comes together!
