Description

Things haven't been easy for Louise with her three-year-old son, Alfie. Unlike the other women in her NCT, for whom motherhood seemed to come so naturally, she never felt that all-important bond. And she can't help but feel that it's her fault that he now acts out like he does.

So when Alfie becomes friends with another boy, Isaac, Louise relieved to see his behaviour imrpove. But as Louise starts to spend more time with Isaac and his mother, Harriet, she notices things about Isaac - similarities with her and her husband - and feels a bond with him that she has never felt with Alfie.

Then Louise founds out that Alfie and Isaac were born in the same hospital, on the same day, she finally faces the unspeakable fear she's been trying so hard to ignore...

What if Alfie is not her child

What if he and Isaac were swapped at birth

And what can she do to prove it
