Didn't You See Your Face on the Children? is a sweeping, heartfelt novel about sisterhood, sacrifice, and the quiet courage of starting again.

When Eleanor leaves behind her life in England for the wide skies of Australia, she carries more than just heartbreak-she carries hope. Her sisters, unable to have children of their own, have spent years grieving quietly. Eleanor chooses a path few would dare: she becomes a mother, not to keep, but to give.

Across three extraordinary births and through the love of a man she never stopped holding in her heart, Eleanor weaves a family from silence and devotion. But when the children begin asking questions and the past resurfaces, long-held truths demand to be seen in the light.

Told with lyrical beauty and emotional clarity, this debut novel from Percy Phillips is a poignant exploration of what it means to love bravely, to give selflessly, and to finally ask-what do I get to keep for myself?

Perfect for readers of contemporary literary fiction, Didn't You See Your Face on the Children? is the unforgettable beginning of The Children We Chose series.
