Lisa Carter Files

Jen Garner tries her best to be ‘wife and mother of the year’. She helps organise school plays and accompanies her husband to company dinners, all with a big smile on her face.

But then the final ‘gift’ arrives, and Jen has to question why somebody is so intent on shattering her life into pieces....

After a traumatic event that almost ripped Jen Garner’s family apart, life is finally starting to get back to normal. Then a woman’s body is found in the river. Shortly afterwards, a young boy is discovered wandering the streets. He refuses to speak to anyone, just repeats one name over and over, to the confusion of most of the local authorities - but Jen knows exactly who he’s asking for, and it’s enough to make her blood run cold....
