The Woman I Was Before · A Gripping Emotional Page-Turner With a Twist

**The perfect picture hides the darkest lies.**

A new home can be a happy ending. Or a fresh start. Or a hiding place...

Kate Jones is running away. She has left her old life behind, changing both her own name and her daughter’s. No-one must ever connect Kate with the mistake that destroyed her life.

Starting afresh on Parkview Road – a brand new street full of newly built houses – Kate looks at the other women on the street with envy. They seem to have it all: Gisela with her busy life, full house and successful children, Sally with her exciting spontaneous marriage, her glamorous holidays, her high-flying career. The pictures that Kate's new friends post online confirm their seemingly perfect existence, whilst Kate hides from the world at all costs.

Until one day, everything changes. **Kate is called to the scene of a devastating accident, which is about to test everything the women thought they knew about each other, and themselves.**

**From the bestselling author of *The Silent Wife** *,* The Woman I Was Before* is a book about the things we hide from those closest to us – and the terrible consequences that keeping those secrets can have. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty and Diane Chamberlain.
