From internationally bestselling British author Susan Lewis comes an unflinching, thoroughly suspenseful novel—perfect for readers of Jodi Picoult—about the darkest secrets a family can hide. Alex Lake’s life is centered on helping people. Her job as a social worker in a British seaside town is more than a career: It’s the very essence of who she is. And though there are frustrations, Alex takes to heart the rewards of placing a child in a safe and loving home. But when she encounters three-year-old Ottilie Wade, Alex is completely unprepared for the effect the sweet, shy little girl has on her. Though on the surface Ottilie seems to want for nothing—she’s perfectly healthy and lives in a very nice home—she’s mysteriously silent and asocial. Alex knows that something is not right in the Wade house. And the deeper she looks into the case, the more Alex comes to feel that she and Ottilie are being drawn together by fate. As disturbing evidence mounts and Alex’s superiors seem unwilling to help, Alex knows she will have to risk everything—her job and the life she loves—to save Ottilie. But Alex will also have to wrestle the demons of her own past before she can secure a future for this child in need. BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Susan Lewis's Don't Let Me Go.

It also gives clear instructions on what to do if they are approached in an unwanted manner. The questions at the end of the book provide an easy transition for counselors and parents to open a discussion, assisting the child in understanding and practicing body boundaries or further exploring if abuse has occurred. Through the use of this book, I have experienced families being able to openly discuss abuse together far the first time. Kayla's heart far children from hard places is infectious. Her vision far all children to know they are not alone is unfolding in this new book. She is a gifted writer who will continue to create works benefiting children. My Body's Mine was a missing piece of literature in abuse prevention and I am so thankful to Kayla far writing it! Jessica Kilpatrick, M.A., LPG, STARRY

The division of the country's orphanages for children of "the true citizens" and children of "the enemies of the state" began the clearance of the questionable element, and bloody years of the Age of Cleansing had finished the purge, leaving behind a perfectly obedient electorate that marched every year in the Liberation Day parades, praising the Party's leadership and following the Party's every directive.The rule of the Party is absolute. Its tool of compliance, the State Security Unit, is feared.Tom isn't a frightened follower, he is a true believer. He loves the Party with all his heart. He trusts in the Party's wisdom.
