My Daughter's Keeper - The utterly heartbreaking family drama from Sheila Norton for 2026 (Unabridged)

"Discover a brand new heart-wrenchingly emotional read for fans of Jodi Picoult, Jojo Moyes, and Kate Hewitt! You'd know if something was wrong... wouldn't you? But danger doesn't always wear a mask - it can hide in plain sight. After a difficult break-up, my six-year-old Daisy is finally settling into life in two homes. She's spending more time with her dad, his wealthy and glamorous partner Kirsty, and her new stepsisters, Amelia and Freya. She seems happier. More relaxed. Like she's finally found her place. It should be everything I ever wanted for her. So why does it feel like I'm losing her? Then Daisy confesses something that stops me cold. Something I can't ignore. That Amelia isn't kind. Behind closed doors, she's cruel. Violent even. Everyone says it's just normal sibling tension. A bit of jealousy. But the more I try to dismiss it, the harder it becomes to shake the feeling that something is deeply, dangerously wrong. What would you do if your child told you they were being hurt by someone you trusted? Would you risk everything to protect them - even if no one believes you? A powerful and emotional women's fiction novel about motherhood and what we're willing to risk to protect the ones we love...

The Child We Lost - The BRAND NEW page-turning emotional family drama from Sheila Norton (Unabridged)

"What would you do if your lost child came back? ❤️ An emotional family drama, perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Kate Hewitt and Susan Lewis. ❤️She pouts, looking upset, and I want nothing more than to kiss her better and say 'All right then, yes. Perhaps he can come back, perhaps he will, perhaps he has!' But I can't. I know I can't lie to her about this... The day we lost Josh, a part of me broke. He was only three-and-a-half years old. His twin, Ruby, suddenly an only child. We thought we were doing as well as expected. But when Ruby comes to me and says she saw Josh - alive - I assume she's struggling more than we realised. It's her way of holding on. Of refusing to let go. But then I see him too. A boy with Josh's same pale blue eyes, the silvery-white hair that falls across his forehead in exactly the same way. It's more than a similarity. This boy could be Josh's twin. How can that be possible? I know I have to listen to my rational brain, that this must be my grief messing with my mind. But I can't let go of the feeling that something is going on. Who is this boy? And does someone know more than they're letting on? A gripping, emotional page-turner about loss, love and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child.

One Week in Winter

"Julia and Lauren are sisters, but definitely not best friends. They rarely even speak to each other. But when Lauren's fortieth birthday is ruined by her latest boyfriend dumping her, Julia feels a sudden and unexpected burst of sympathy, and offers to go with her on the special holiday he'd paid for as a birthday present. Unfortunately the holiday turns out not to be a glamorous hotel in a holiday hotspot, but a self-catering cottage in a tiny village called Deepcombe, in the middle of Dartmoor. And it's January. Can the sisters survive what seems likely to be a disastrous week, and make the best of it? Can they even get through a day without arguing - particularly about their past? Perhaps the owner of their holiday let - known locally as the 'Wise Woman of Deepcombe' - can help in some way. . ."
