When Skye meets Ben their attraction is instantaneous and intense. Niether of them has ever felt more in synch - or in love - with anyone in their lives. What happens next will tear them both apart. Into My Arms is a searing love story and a gripping family drama - a shocking, haunting novel in the tradition of Jodi Picoult and Caroline Overington.

'As much as I love books, I have hardly ever felt compelled to email an author to express my emotions at how their book has affected me. But Into My Arms is no ordinary book. Sure, it has the makings of a good book – excellent writing, well-rounded characters, a great plot and sub-plot – but this book's subject matter does not follow any formula. In fact, the subject matter is so far from anything I have ever read – or anything I'd thought I would ever read – that I found reading it to be like reading for the first time: swept up in another all-consuming world.' - Sarah Ayoub, Journalist + Author - read the rest of the review on her website
