    "description": "For seven years I believed my husband was dead \u2013 until the note arrived this morning\u2026\n\nThe day her husband Tom disappeared, Rachel\u2019s life fell apart. Childhood sweethearts with two young children, they\u2019d done everything together. And then, suddenly, Tom was gone. Without a word, without a note, without a single sign of where he might be, leaving Rachel to survive alone.\n\nNow, nearly seven years later, Rachel has come to terms with life as a single mother, caring for their children who still secretly long for their father\u2019s miraculous return.\n\nBut in his absence, Tom\u2019s hidden life started to emerge, and Rachel has discovered things a wife should never have to. A secret life that betrayed everything Rachel thought she knew. Not knowing where he\u2019d gone was no longer the main worry keeping her awake at night \u2013 it seemed much more likely he\u2019d been silenced. Forever.\n\nUntil today, when \u2013 with just one month until Tom is to be declared legally dead \u2013 Rachel receives a note in handwriting she recognises with dread:\n\nMy darling, I\u2019ve missed you so much. Give me a chance to explain. I\u2019m coming home.\n\nThe husband she\u2019d lost is alive.\n\nAnd so are all his secrets\u2026",
