The Eye of the Beholder - Hardcover

by Margie Orford (Author)

Cora
carries secrets her daughter can't know.

Freya
is frightened by what her mother leaves unsaid.

Angel
will only bury the past if it means putting her abusers into the ground.

Angel is working in a wolf sanctuary in Canada when an abandoned dog is
brought in - a dog she knows. The dog's owner is missing, but has he been caught out in a blizzard or has something more sinister caught up with him?

Cora is running from a dangerous man. Attempting to bury her emotions (fear and
anguish) in her art has brought her controversy all her career, but the truth behind her paintings could expose more than a model.

Freya is close with her mother but trying to build a life of her own. While searching
for answers, she has her own reasons for trying to unearth her mother's history.

One act of violence sets the three women on a collision course, each desperate to
find the truth. In a nail-biting thriller set between the scorched red soil of South Africa, the pitiless snowfields of Canada and the chilly lochsides of western Scotland, each woman must contend with the spectres of male violence, sexual abuse and the choices we each make to keep our souls.
