Jenny Cooper has a secret. A secret so dark and so terrible it haunts her through torturous nightmares. And then there's those failed relationships plus a toxic sibling rivalry. Plaguing her to the point where she doesn't hesitate to leave her drab, small-town life for the promise of glamorous London when the chance comes along.
And while she finds some contentment and love, life in the big city proves both fickle and dangerous. Jenny suffers further heartache when her illicit affair is exposed in humiliating fashion. Worse still, she is badly hurt in a random assault, her attacker apparently a policeman. And most painful of all, her beloved father's life is threatened by illness under devastating circumstances. But no one wants to help, and Jenny finds herself abandoned. Alone with her diary in which she confides the tragedies of her life. But in it she also writes a list of names of those who have wronged her and her family. It's payback time... but can she deliver?
