A Family's Trust: A breathtakingly emotional book club pick from Louise Guy for 2024

Could you trust the sister you’ve never met before? When tragedy brings biological sisters Jessica Williams and Reeve Elliot together, the initial shock of learning of each other’s existence is quickly replaced by a commitment to be there for each other.

For Reeve, it’s the support she needs at a time when her life is falling apart – she’s having blackouts and memory loss, exactly what her beloved late mother suffered from just a few years before.

For Jess, it’s a chance to find solace in family and move beyond the abandonment and trauma she experienced as a child forced to grow up in the foster care system.

As the bond between the two women deepens, their relationship is tested in ways they’d never have imagined. When Jess’s past comes back to haunt her, the nightmare that is Reeve’s present intensifies.

With a large inheritance at stake, the lines between greed and family, as well as right and wrong, begin to blur. Someone is lying. Someone is manipulating the truth. But is it one of the sisters? And – as secrets unravel, both sisters will question… who can they truly trust?

A powerful, twisty emotional page turner that readers of Jodi Picoult, Amanda Prowse and Emma Robinson will love.
