The Girl Who Couldn't Leave

She's too afraid to leave her house. But is she brave enough to let someone in?

Fiona Dexter hasn't gone outside in five years.

She knows she'll never sit on a beach to watch the sunset,

or share a meal with her family at the friendly caf around the corner,

or even fall in love.

Then one day, her neighbour, single mother Bethany, shows up on her doorstep holding two-year-old Evie.

Bethany needs help and soon Fiona starts to remember how it feels to be close to other people. Once she's felt the warmth of Evie's hugs and danced her socks off with Bethany, can Fiona face the secrets of her past and live again?

This hopeful and heart-warming read will remind you that life continues no matter where you are, and opening the door is the first step on the way back to happiness. Fans of Jojo Moyes, Jodi Picoult and Diane Chamberlain will love this emotional and uplifting story.
