She’s got a brand new life and everything she wants ...right?
The hated house of her childhood has been sold and Alison now has a smart new apartment and a new, exciting career. Everything, in fact, that she’s ever dreamed of. Mother is but a sad and miserable memory. Life is good, life is slim. But then it all starts to go horribly wrong...again, and Alison has to ask herself – is it her? She’s trying her very best to be a good person but it’s harder than she thought it would be and, if she’s honest, which she’s mostly not; it’s a bit boring.
