A Turn in the Road (Large print ed)

Orphaned whilst still in her teens, and forced to give up her illegitimate baby for adoption, April Winston must make her own way in life.

She forges a career as a successful New York lawyer, and enjoys the wealth and respect that come with it.

But there is something missing. She yearns to know what happened to her long-lost baby daughter, and envies her married friends Bob and Nicole their happy family home.

When Bob offers April partnership in his small-town legal practice, she seizes the opportunity of a quieter, more fulfilling pace of life.

Within days of April's arrival, however, the little town of magnolia is shaken to its core by the sudden death of a baby girl.

Bob and April are soon drawn into what will fast become a complex, disturbing and - for April especially - emotional murder inquiry.
