For fans of Robyn Carr and Kristan Higgins comes a family drama from best-selling Australian author Fiona Lowe


Is an inheritance a privilege or a right?




Margaret, the matriarch of the wealthy Jamieson family, has always been as tightfisted with the family money as she is with her affections. Sarah is the eldest child and, although successful in her own right, her achievements are overshadowed by her younger brother. Sarah feels compelled to meet Margaret's every demand to earn her love.




After a poverty-stricken childhood, Anita has claimed the social status she's worked so hard to achieve by marrying Cameron Jamieson. Although they have a comfortable life she's never able to fully relax, fearing everything could change in a heartbeat.




Ellie has lived a nomadic and, according to her siblings, a selfish life leaving them to care for their aging mother. For her, freedom means staying far away from the strings attached to her inheritance. But she needs to consider her young son's future as well.




As their mother's health deteriorates, will long-held secrets and childhood rivalries smash this family into pieces? And who will get the money?




An addictive and page-turning story of the relationships between siblings and of deceit, betrayal and revenge.

Fiona Lowe

Fiona Lowe has been a midwife, a sexual health counsellor and a family support worker; an ideal career for an author who writes novels about family and relationships.

She spent her early years in Papua New Guinea where, without television, reading was the entertainment and it set up a lifelong love of books. Although she often re-wrote the endings of books in her head, it was the birth of her first child that prompted her to write her first novel.

A recipient of the prestigious USA RITA award and the Australian RuBY award, Fiona's books are set in small country towns and feature real people facing difficult choices and explore how family ties and relationships impact on their decisions.

When she's not writing stories, she's a distracted wife, mother of two ‘ginger’ sons, a volunteer in her community, guardian of 80 rose bushes, slave to a cat and is often found collapsed on the couch with wine.
