I thought my sister was killed a year ago. But now her baby is on my doorstep…
I’m drinking a glass of wine in my quiet, empty house, listening to the silence and wondering if I will always be this lonely… And then I hear the knock.
When I open the door, I can’t believe what I see. A small bundle, pink fists waving weakly under a patterned blanket, gorgeous deep blue eyes blinking up at me.
A baby.
I rush to pick her up, clutching her tightly. Who can she belong to? Why would someone abandon her at my door?
I call the police, and social care. But I could never have predicted what happened next. Because when they run DNA, the baby is related to me.
She’s my sister’s child.
But that’s impossible. My sister was murdered a year ago.
Wasn’t she?
