No-one thought she had the courage
Those looking in from the outside think Lucy Lovejoys life is like any other, but at the centre of her family there is a big empty hole where all the love and warmth should be. Over the years, her children have watched while their father chipped away at Lucys self-confidence. Now the children are following their own paths, and Lucy has never felt more alone.
When tragedy strikes at the heart of the family, its a wake-up call for Lucy. Everyone has taken a little piece of her, and she isnt sure who she is anymore. So when Lucy faces a betrayal from those she loves deepest, she knows that its time to make a choice.
Is she brave enough to find herself again

Josephine Cox was born in Blackburn, one of ten children. At the age of sixteen, Josephine met and married her husband Ken, and had two sons. When the boys started school, she decided to go to college and eventually gained a place at Cambridge University. She was unable to take this up as it would have meant living away from home, but she went into teaching and started to write her first full-length novel. She won the Superwoman of Great Britain Award, for which her family had secretly entered her, at the same time as her novel was accepted for publication.
