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 wifes twins is a night that will haunt five lives for ever.

For though Davids son is a healthy boy, his daughter has Downs 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 Davids family, so a little girl must make her own way in the world as best she can.
