A Safe Place

What happens when your home becomes your prison? Twelve-year-old Cate has never left her village. She's never had a friend. She's never even hugged her mother. Imogen, Cate's mum, spent her youth traveling the country with her father. He believed she had a gift and used her for his own gain. With her own innocence snatched away, Imogen vowed to build an idyllic and safe childhood for her daughter. But as Cate increasingly becomes curious about life outside their home, Imogen begins to wonder if the decision to close them off from society was the right one. Then Zach, Imogen's enigmatic ex-lover, returns to the village—and years of deception come to light. Why has Imogen never touched her daughter? Is Zach responsible for a heinous crime? And what is Cate truly capable of? From the author of Shattered, A Safe Place is a chilling new suspense novel about decades of secrets, lies, and guilt.
