Division Street is full of secrets. And one night in particular has been kept buried.
'Lyrically examines the ways a single event can alter many lives for ever . . . wonderful' Good Housekeeping
An impulsive lie – told with the best intentions – consumes the Wilf family. Even as they change and grow, each is haunted by what they choose to forget. Then the Shenkmans move in across the street: a couple with their own secrets and a lonely, brilliant son.
As their stories collide in ways they never could have imagined, the past comes hurtling back to Division Street, setting in motion a spellbinding chain of events that will transform both families forever.
