Jean Collins had two daughters. But she only loved one of them.<br /> <br /> She knew it was wrong, but she just couldn&#39;t help herself. Jess was a little sweetheart, everyone said so. Anne was awkward and serious and not much fun, to be frank.<br /> <br /> But now the years have passed. Jess is missing - run off long ago, no one knows where or why. So when Jean is left in a coma after a road accident, it&#39;s Anne who travels back up north to sit at her mother&#39;s bedside. And she wonders - why did Jean dash out into the road without looking? What distracted her? And why was she carrying a box of vanilla slices, the cream cakes she only ever bought for extra special occasions?<br /> <br /> Meanwhile there are secrets waiting for Anne and Jean, back at the old family home. Secrets that were buried a long time ago . . .
