Publisher's summary

Christmas. A time for family, friends . . . and enemies?

Nicola is returning to her family home for the Christmas holidays to spend the festive season with her loved ones for the first time in several years. But she gets a shock when she discovers that there will be an unexpected guest joining them for dinner on the big day. Their elderly neighbor, Barbara, will be present at the table too after receiving an invitation from Nicola's parents because they hated to think of the old woman spending the day alone.

That is a big problem for Nicola, although she struggles to let her family members know why. As far as they are concerned, Barbara is just the sweet old lady from next door. But Nicola knows the truth. That woman is not all she seems. And now she is in their house . . .

Forced to confront several demons from her past, Nicola struggles through Christmas Day. But as difficult as it is to face the past, nothing is as hard as what happens next. It seems that Barbara has been waiting for Nicola to return home after all these years. Now she has, things will never be the same again . . .

Good book but with child abuse

A well-written book but stories about child abuse make me very sad. I think if somebody had warned me, I wouldn’t have read it.

Just enough

This book gave just enough information and details to paint a picture without having detailed descriptions. It was carefully wrapped up with the perfect ending.

Oh give me a break!! 😫🙄

I had to practically listen to this whole book before anything start happening. For a 40 year old she sure worst than Tony. I hope this was your first book because this is an unreasonable and idiotic story so not believable.
Seriously!!!😒
Keeping such a secret at that age and a health professional beside that. 🤦‍♀️

Ignore SB's Reviews

I've noticed "SB" posts fake nasty reviews on all Daniel's books. Apparently it's personal and petty. The books have all been good and I am glad I recognized a vendetta and ignored them. If the person actually hated his writing so much, why keep buying every book as soon as it comes out?

This needs a WARNING

Child sexual abuse, even hints of it, need to be known before readers/listeners dive in. Sheesh.

On Chapter 5 Boring" This Book is not for me'

this book is very slow it is boring and I'm only on chapter 5 and I don't even know what the problem is' it's taking forever to find out what has happened so there's really nothing to build upon' usually I know what's going on in the first couple chapters this book is putting me to sleep' it's not keeping my attention and I am not going to finish listening to it' it gives nothing to the reader to build upon I need something in the first couple chapters this has given me nothing but boring blah blah blah I would not recommend this book
