Eighteen years ago, Margot's life was forever changed by a stranger who resolved to mend the wound that her father's absence left behind in her heart.
But the expectation of abandon is not as easy for a child to assuage as one may think, and it often lingers into adulthood.
When Margot finally takes a look at Henry's influence over her life in hindsight, she finds that he and his wife have flipped her mind's narrative in many parallels she'd never acknowledged before, slowly replacing that fear of abandon with deep trust.
In this heartwarming companion novel to In The Absence Blood, 'The Mirror' is a vulnerable look into the dedication and love it requires to win a daughter's heart back despite never having been the one to break it.
