Story

The story

Harlan Lowe suffers from severe face blindness, so every woman looks the same to him. Drugged by a business rival forty years ago, he spent one night with the woman who would become the narrator's mother, then failed to recognise her and married Mildred Roberts instead. Mildred claimed the life that was never hers, while the narrator's mother, pregnant and unmarried, was shunned, sank into depression and took her own life.

Four decades later, the narrator has risen through brilliance and married Bella Harrison, daughter of the country's wealthiest dynasty. Their peace ends when his daughter Josie Gardner brings home her boyfriend, Simon Lowe, the arrogant grandson of Harlan and Mildred. The narrator refuses his gift and forbids the match.

Mildred herself arrives with land rights and insults, but he stands firm, remembering the mother he could not save.

Opening excerpt

40 years ago, he was drugged by a business rival and spent one fateful night with the woman who would later become my mother.

Unable to recognize her afterward, he mistakenly marries Mildred Roberts, the opportunistic woman who steals her place and claims the credit that is never hers.

In time, Harlan and Mildred become one of the city's most celebrated power couples, admired by everyone. Meanwhile, my mother is left to bear the consequences alone.
