In the serene village of Ashmarsh, where secrets whisper through the trees, DCI Tim Cunningham's world is shattered when his two sons, James and Stephen, fail to return from an innocent Saturday morning walk. As night falls, the peaceful landscape transforms into a chilling reminder of the unknown.
In 'The Boy She Once Knew', embark on an emotional journey filled with heartache, and an exploration of the powerful ties that bind us. Will the truth set them free, or will it tear a family apart forever? Join Cunningham as he navigates the shadowy depths of hope, despair, and an unwavering love for his sons-where every turn could either lead him closer to them or send him spiralling into eternal grief.
Readers are also led through reflections on missed opportunities and the complexity of love, especially one coloured by years of separation and "what might have been".
Ultimately, the book delivers a poignant message about how connections shape us, even when love cannot be fully realised.
