From Jenni Ogden, author of award-winning A Drop in the Ocean, comes a gripping tale of family secrets and mother–daughter conflict set in London, New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, and on a remote island off the coast of New Zealand.

Georgia Grayson has perfected the art of being two people: a neurosurgeon on track to becoming the first female Director of Neurosurgery at a large London hospital, and a wife and mother. Home is her haven where, with husband Adam’s support, she copes with her occasional anxiety attacks.

That is until her daughter, 15-year-old Lara, demands to know more about Danny, her mysterious biological father from New Orleans who died before she was born.

“Who was he? Why did he die? WHO AM I?” Trouble is, Georgia can’t tell her.
As escalating panic attacks prevent her from operating, and therapy fails to bring back the memories she has repressed, fractures rip through her once happy family.

Georgia sees only one way forward, — to return to New Orleans where Danny first sang his way into her heart, and then to the rugged island where he fell to his death. Somehow she must uncover the truth Lara deserves, whatever the cost.

About Jenni Ogden

Jenni Ogden lives with her husband on a rugged, remote, off-grid island 100 kms off the north-east coast of New Zealand. It is a place her four adult children and five grandchildren love to visit. During the NZ winters she escapes to the Australian tropics or travels to the US or UK, travel being another passion, along with reading (writing!) and conservation. Her new novel, THE MOON IS MISSING, set in London, New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, and on the very island Jenni lives on, will be published in September, 2020. A DROP IN THE OCEAN, her debut novel, set on another remote island on Australia's Great Barrier Reef, features a woman over forty, and explores Jenni's favorite themes: friendship, family, love, hard choices, and coping with neurological or medical illness. In 2016 it won the Gold in the Nautilus Book Awards for Fiction, Large Publisher, (shared with Monica Wood's novel, 'The One-In-A-Million-Boy'), the Gold for the Sarton Women's Book Awards in Contemporary Fiction, the Gold in the Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPYS) for Best Fiction: Australia and NZ, and the Silver in the Readers' Favorites International Book Awards for Women's Fiction.

Before she took up fiction writing, Dr. Ogden enjoyed an international reputation as a neuropsychologist, and was awarded the Distinguished Career Award by the International Neuropsychological Society in 2015. Her non-fiction books include the classic text, FRACTURED MINDS, and a book for the general reader, TROUBLE IN MIND. Both relate the courageous struggles and triumphs of people who have suffered brain disorders.
