She is always working to keep her past secret or else it could send her perfect life crashing down. The book sees a friend, Annika, living with an abusive drug dealer and Cecilia gives her a chance to change her life. Annika knows her secret and she knows just how far Cecilia will go to keep it. Then one day someone forgets to pick up their son from the pool and Cecilia offers to take him him, but finds an abandoned home and the first step to her unraveling begins.

Dahl followed that book up with The Heart Keeper in 2019. The book is dark one as it begins with Alison who has lost her daughter to a drowning. Alison is struggling to keep it together, especially in the brutal Norwegian winter. For another family, Alison’s loss is a great gain as a young girl named Kira receives a new heart from Alison’s daughter. The family struggles to get by until a new person comes into their life: Alison.
