After the heartbreaking, unexpected death of her 5-year-old daughter Chloe, she’s trying desperately to keep her family together for her other daughter, Emily. But then the police inform Maddy that her husband Max is missing, his rucksack found at the bottom of a local canal leading them to believe he has taken his own life. Unable to believe that Max would abandon her and Emily, Maddy delves deeper into her husband’s secrets. She finds a web of betrayal that forces her to re-examine everything about their life together. Maddened by grief, and forced into untangling Max’s lies, Maddy will stop at nothing to uncover the truth – even if it destroys her in the process. A Mother Like You: Kate Marshall lives an enviable life. Married to handsome, charming, James, owner of a successful company, she seems to have it all.

So when ex-boyfriend Paul comes back into her life, threatening to expose the truth about what Kate did, the clock is ticking. Can she keep her secrets and finally be the mother she always dreamed of – or will her past lies destroy her future? The Face at the Window: To the world, Gemma Adams is @HappyWife. Online, people only see her picture-perfect home, handsome husband, Nick, and beautiful baby, Thomas. They don’t see the real Gemma.
