Author Description

Flori is a successful, attractive young woman living and working in London when in the early hours of the morning, in a moment of madness, she steals a tiny baby. With the reluctant assistance of her best friend, Rose, and Matt, an erstwhile lover, she flees with the baby to Jura, a remote Scottish island. Living in extreme isolation and without the support of Rose or Matt, traumatic memories from her childhood return to haunt her and her life begins to unravel. Calling again on her friend for help, Rose insists she tells her the truth about her past. Confronted by Rose's determination, Flori is forced to reveal a secret, a secret she has kept since childhood but which leaves Rose with a terrible dilemma. 'Between the Shadow and the Soul' is about the conflicts of love, trust and betrayal and how friendship can be tested to its limits.
