A mother dreams big for her teenage children - but is she making them live her thwarted dreams? And what price will she pay if she ignores theirs? (From the Publisher's Description)
'Moriarty [tackles] uncomfortable and painful subjects, weaving them into compelling thought-provoking stories ... heartfelt and deeply moving' Irish Independent
The new novel from the Richard and Judy Book Club author and Number One Bestseller!
When her children are offered a scholarship to a prestigious school Lucy Murphy is ecstatic. Her plan for a glittering future ended when she became pregnant. But there will be no limit to what her twins can achieve.
Stuck in her dreams for their imaginary lives, Lucy doesn't see what is right in front of her - that she is thinking of her own ambitions, not her children's. And that life can be challenging for seventeen-year-olds, especially in the era of social media.
Until catastrophe strikes, Lucy remains blind to the cost of forcing her wishes on the twins, particularly her sensitive daughter. To have any hope of surviving as a family, all three will have to face up to some surprising and difficult truths . . .

Paperback. Condición: Good. 'Both heart-breaking and heart-warming . a joy to read' Woman's Way From the Richard and Judy Book Club author and Number One Bestseller! Lucy Murphy has a single goal in life - to give her children a brilliant future. An unplanned pregnancy forced Lucy to abandon her own dreams, so she is determined that her twin daughter and son will seize every opportunity. When they get a chance to move to a prestigious school, all Lucy sees is the fulfilment of her every wish for them. Loving them as fiercely as she does, Lucy is blind to the risks of taking two seventeen-year-olds away from everything familiar and dropping them into an alien world. Even when warning signs are flashing, she cannot see the dangers of pushing her vision on her children - especially her sensitive daughter - until it's almost too late. For her family to survive, Lucy has to face up to some surprising and difficult truths - and figure out how to find herself again.
