** spoiler alert ** I really enjoyed this book and got to know the characters quite quickly. It revolves around a little girl, Belle, who lives with her single father and who is finding it hard to get y since his mother died in a house fire which destroyed all their belongings and as she was also his childcare, he finds it difficult to find work. He meets someone who says there is a job elsewhere so he naively goes and gets involved in collecting drugs - when he discovers the real job he is distraught and dumps them - not realising that the dealers will be after him and so he can't return to his daughter, whom he left in a coffee shop with a woman (Erin) they befriended a few days before. When he does manage to return it is to discover that Erin has taken his daughter to her mothers (a woman she has never met) so he rushes down there and realises that he still loves his daughters mother and that her father was the one that forced them apart and true love still exists. Erin meanwhile is tackling her own ghosts, as she is still grieving for her daughter who died in a freak accident. But taking care of Belle helps her cope and get her life back on track.
There is lots more to it but it is so easy to see how things can so easily spiral out of your control if you have no-one around to help you
