MARGARET THINKS HER TIME IS UP… BUT MAYBE HER TIME IS NOW?
Things have been hard since her husband Derek died, and they never really got over the disappearance of their daughter, Jeanie, all those years ago. Despite everything, they built a lovely life together… it’s just starting to feel impossible for Margaret on her own. Then one day, Margaret returns home to an unlikely visitor, and together they set out to discover what really happened to Jeanie. Perhaps if you knock on enough doors, you might find another end to your story…
