Angel grew up on a council estate in Kent, raised by her grandmother, sharing a tiny bedroom with her chaotic sister and wearing a school uniform three sizes too big. Her childhood feels a world away from the life she has built as Angelica: a sophisticated lawyer, married to wealthy and successful Sebastian, living in East London.
When Angelica receives the devastating news that her beloved Grammy has suffered a heart attack, the carefully constructed world she has fought so hard to build begins to implode. Suddenly, the past she thought she had escaped is impossible to ignore, and family secrets cause her to question everything in front of her.
As her relationships, grief and old wounds collide, Angelica must confront the uncomfortable truth about the woman she has become-and what it has cost her to get there.
