Care for Me is a compelling and emotional debut novel about family, love and secrets from the past. When Amira takes her mother, Afrah, to Ravenswood Lodge Care Home, set in the beautiful Scottish Highlands, she hopes it will be the right decision for both of them. She hopes it will keep them safe. But it isn’t long before Afrah is haunted by her past she has always wanted to forget, and she is sure someone is back for revenge. Now she must convince Amira of the truth, but first, Amira may need to discover the secrets of the past for herself.
