Riassunto

Under the shadow of a remote headland, a child is born and abandoned. Eva Frawley's birth is a mystery that remains unsolved, a media event that will soon fade from the headlines. Years later - her marriage in ruins, her future uncertain - Eva realises that to move forward with her life she must first understand her past.
Beth McKeever is preparing to undertake her own journey of the mind, painfully retracing the steps that led her to the bleak headland on that fateful night. In doing so, she must confront the man who dominated her youth and corrupted her innocence. But Tom Oliver is a powerful politician and Beth has much to lose by challenging him.
For Eva it is a time of discovery. As she returns to the headland that first cradled her, she begins a reckless and passionate affair with an older man, unaware that she is drawing ever nearer to the truth about her birth.
When the Bough Breaks is a story of love and passion, of power, lost innocence and revenge. It weaves through the broken branches of a family tree, revealing scars that have never healed and a love that refuses to die. And hovering over all their lives is the uneasy spirit of Sara, whose tragic death is the catalyst that will change their lives forever.
