About this ebook

A heart wrenching story for fans of Jodi Picoult, Susan Lewis and Katherine Webb.How could you ever choose between your own life and the life of your child?

Newly-weds Holly and Tom have just moved into an old manor house in the picturesque English countryside. When Holly discovers a moondial in the overgrown garden and its strange crystal mechanism, little does she suspect that it will change her life forever. For the moondial has a curse.

Each full moon, Holly can see into the future – a future which holds Tom cradling their baby daughter, Libby, and mourning Holly’s death in childbirth...

Holly realises the moondial is offering her a desperate choice: give Tom the baby he has always wanted and sacrifice her own life; or save herself and erase the life of the daughter she has fallen in love with.

Ratings and reviews

A wonderful book, one of only a few I have red all the way through. it really paints the scene in your mind involving Family, The newly bought house in the country, The proposed extension, Holly's friend Jocelyn, plus the exciting Moon Dial that transports her into seeing her own future, it's my favourite book.

Loved this book. I very rarely read, but found I couldn't put the book down. Fantastically written with emotion and a surprise twist

The best book I've read in long time! Couldn't put it down. Would seriously recommend!

About the author

Amanda Brooke is a single mum in her forties who lives in Liverpool with her teenage daughter Jessica. It was only when her young son was diagnosed with cancer that Amanda began to develop her writing, recording her family’s journey in a journal and through poetry. When Nathan died in 2006 at just three years old, Amanda was determined that his legacy would be one of inspiration not devastation. Her novel Yesterday’s Sun is inspired by her experiences of motherhood and her understanding of how much a mother would be willing to sacrifice for the life of her child.
