The Child We Lost is the latest novel from author Sheila Norton to be published via Boldwood Books.

What would you do if your lost child came back…

She pouts, looking upset, and I want nothing more than to kiss her better and say ‘All right then, yes. Perhaps he can come back, perhaps he will, perhaps he has!’ But I can’t. I know I can’t lie to her about this…

The day we lost Josh, a part of me broke. He was only three-and-a-half years old. His twin, Ruby, suddenly an only child.

We thought we were doing as well as expected. But when Ruby comes to me and says she saw Josh – alive – I assume she’s struggling more than we realised. It’s her way of holding on. Of refusing to let go.

But then I see him too.

A boy with Josh’s same pale blue eyes, the silvery-white hair that falls across his forehead in exactly the same way. It’s more than a similarity. This boy could be Josh’s twin.

How can that be possible?

I know I have to listen to my rational brain, that this must be my grief messing with my mind. But I can’t let go of the feeling that something is going on. Who is this boy? And does someone know more than they’re letting on?

The Child We Lost puts you in an emotional chokehold very early on in the story and then does not let go through all the gripping twists and turns.

It’s one of those brilliantly plotted books that you have so many theories while reading, but end up disregarding and coming up with new ones every time you turn the page.

If you enjoy gripping, emotive and suspense-filled reads, then this one is one for you!
