With Love from the Inside

Mehr zum Buch

Angela Pisel's poignant debut explores the complex relationship between a mother and daughter and their quest for truth and love, even from behind bars. Grace Bradshaw, on death row for murdering her infant son, knows the exact moment she will die—February 15 at 12:01 a.m. Eleven years, five months, and twenty-seven days have passed since she last heard her daughter's voice. With no appeals left, Grace's sole focus is reconnecting with her daughter and ensuring she understands the truth. Sophie Logan, living in a big house with a prominent plastic surgeon husband, conceals the unforgivable actions of her mother that tore their family apart. As Grace's execution date approaches, Sophie is forced to confront the traumatic events of her childhood. Returning to her hometown, she uncovers new evidence about her baby brother William's death seventeen years ago—proof that could exonerate her mother but potentially destroy her marriage. Sophie faces a heart-wrenching decision: is her mother the monster the prosecutor claimed, or the loving parent who painted her toenails glittery pink and filled her bathroom with inspiring Post-it notes? Time is running out for both women as they navigate their intertwined fates.
