MONIQUE ROFFEYIn the heart-aching new novel from the author of the award-winning Golden Child, a mother searches for the daughter she left behind a lifetime ago.   When Dawn Bishop was sixteen, she left her home in Trinidad and journeyed across the sea  to Venezuela. There, she gave birth to a baby girl and returned to Trinidad alone. Dawn tried to carry on with her life: a move  to England, a marriage, two sons and a divorce.  But she never stopped thinking of her daughter and of what might have been. Forty years later, a woman gets in touch on an internet forum, claiming that she might be her long-lost daughter. Dawn dares to hope that this may be a way back to her past.
