Juliet only wanted to see her childhood home one more time – to look at it from the street. She never intended to meet the new owners, let alone talk her way into a position as their new live-in nanny. But it’s too late now to tell the truth about who she really is.Six-year-old Kitty has progressive mutism and cannot speak. Nobody knows why she keeps making silent phone calls to the police. Juliet makes it her mission to find out.As Juliet settles into the house, nostalgia for her childhood gives way to uneasiness, as troubling memories surface. She begins to realise that her new employers have a connection to her own past, and family secrets she has tried hard to forget. And she is horrified to learn that they have a secret too – one that could blow their world apart.Juliet faces an impossible choice. Keeping Kitty safe could cost her everything.
