About this ebook
This isn't where we started out.
This isn't what we wanted or intended.
Adam and Sasha Levy appear to have it all: a pleasant home, demanding careers and three bright children. But underneath, the pressures of modern living are taking an unendurable toll. When Adam, under extreme strain, breaks a longstanding promise to his wife, their relationship begins to crumble.
Liffy, their innocent, ballet-obsessed thirteen-year-old, is caught in the middle. As Liffy finds herself drifting away, the Levys spiral towards tragedy.
Someone has to make a sacrifice, but the cost could be too much to bear . . .
How did we come to this?
