The story of one woman’s desire to be a mother, and the terrible consequences of maternal indifference. When a former child patient asks retired forensic psychiatrist Corine Alexander for help, she is grateful for the distraction from her own grief. Keen to understand why a seemingly well-balanced teenager would attack her mother with a knife, Corine is disheartened by her patient’s unwillingness to talk, and by the lack of support from her family – united only by the secrets they keep. To win her patient’s trust, Corine is forced to face some secrets of her own… secrets that are destroying both Corine, and her troubled patient. Praise for Without Good “A hauntingly intelligent psychological suspense from an exciting new talent. I was utterly gripped from first page to last. Lewis is most definitely an author to watch.” – S. E. Lynes, No. 1 bestselling author of The Housewarming “A fascinating exploration of how lives can spin on one misjudged action. The perfect gripping page turner that ends with plenty of ‘a-ha’ moments and a tear or two.” – Gaye Poole, author of Edges of Me “Wonderfully twisty and compelling… truly likeable characters, a captivating storyline and plot twists I didn’t see coming.” – L J Jenner, author of The Wrong Story
