A Safe Place

What happens when your home becomes your prison?

Twelve-year-old Cate has never left her village. She's never had a friend. She's never even hugged her mother.

Imogen, Cate's mum, spent her youth travelling the country with her father. He believed she had a gift and used her for his own gain. With her innocence snatched away, Imogen vowed to build an idyllic and safe childhood for her daughter.

But Cate soon becomes curious about life outside their home, and Imogen begins to wonder if the decision to close them off from society was the right one. Then when Zach, Imogen's enigmatic ex-lover, returns to the village, years of deception come to light.

Why has Imogen never touched her daughter? Is Zach responsible for a heinous crime? And what is Cate truly capable of?

A Safe Place is a chilling suspense novel about decades of secrets, lies and guilt.
