Seven years ago you stole my child, now I want her
back...
Zoe and Ollie Morley tried for years to have a baby and
couldn't. They turned to adoption and their dreams came true when they were
approved to adopt a little girl from birth. They named her Evie. In the days
that follow Evie’s birth the new parents watch anxiously as their precious
daughter struggles – she is battling the severe effects of the drugs her birth
mother was addicted to.
Seven years later, the family has moved to Yorkshire and
grown in number: a wonderful surprise in the form of baby Ben, conceived naturally
against the odds. Ollie is earning good money and Zoe is pursuing her career as
an artist. As a working mum it's not easy, but Zoe has an exhibition coming up
and her reputation is growing. Life is good.
But then Evie begins to receive letters and gifts. The
sender claims to be her birth father. He has been looking for his daughter. And
now he’s coming to take her back...

dangerous, unthinkable questions as a mother fights an invisible force for the
adopted child who is her own.
