What is the truth, when you don't know how to question? Constance Delaware is plagued by the screams of forgotten souls when she sleeps and cursed by memories of a forsaken past when she wakes.

If Melody hadn't run out of de-icer that day, she would never have slipped and banged her head. She wouldn't be left with a condition that makes her sing when she's nervous. And she definitely wouldn't have belted out the Arctic Monkeys 'I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor' in assembly at her son's school. If Dev hadn't taken the kids to the zoo that day, then the accident wouldn't have happened. He wouldn't have left Flynn and Rose without a dad. Or shattered the love of his life's heart. But if they hadn't seen the missing person report that day, they might never have taken the trip to Cornwall. And, in the last place they expected, discovered what it really means to be 'Us'.

Az élet egyetlen szívdobbanással kezdődik, és ugyanúgy is ér véget: mindnyájunknak egyéni lüktetése, saját dallama van.Ha Melody kocsijából aznap nem fogy ki a fagyálló, talán nem is csúszik el a jégen, és nem szenved fejsérülést. És nem is fakad dalra a sérülés egyik komplikációjaként, valahányszor feszült lelkiállapotba kerül. Például biztosan nem adja elő az I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloort az iskolában, a fia szülői értekezletén.Ha Dev aznap nem vitte volna el a gyerekeket az állatkertbe, nem szenvednek balesetet. Flynn és Rose nem maradnak apa nélkül. És Dev élete szerelmének sem törik apró darabokra a szíve.Ha azonban nem akadtak volna rá annak az eltűnt személynek az adatlapjára, talán sosem utaznak el Cornwallba, hogy a legvalószínűtlenebb helyszínen végre megtapasztalhassák, mit is jelent összetartozni.
Eine außergewöhnliche Familiengeschichte, herzzerreißend und doch lebensbejahend. Melody King hat ein seltenes Leiden, seit sie sich vor Jahren am Kopf verletzt hat: Sie singt, wenn sie in Stress gerät. Sie singt unkontrolliert und laut und in den unpassendsten Momenten – an der Supermarktkasse oder mitten während der Schulaufführung ihres Sohnes. Kein Arzt, kein Psychologe kann ihr helfen. Ihren beiden Kindern, Flynn und Rosie, ist das alles furchtbar peinlich, aber seit ihr Vater vor elf Jahren verschwand, hält die Familie liebevoll zusammen. Doch als die Kings auf eine Vermisstenanzeige stoßen, die auf Melodys Mann passt, werden sie mit einer Wahrheit konfrontiert, die ihr Leben komplett auf den Kopf stellt …
