Hannah Beckerman pens a life-affirming novel that tells the story of a family divided and the secret that can possibly unite them - a must for fans of This Is Us.

A secret between two sisters.
A lifetime of lies unraveling.
Can one broken family find their way back to each other?

Audrey’s dream as a mother had been for her daughters, Jess and Lily, to be as close as only sisters can be. But now, as adults, they no longer speak to each other, and Audrey’s two teenage granddaughters have never met. Audrey just can’t help feeling like she’s been dealt more than her fair share as she’s watched her family come undone over the years, and she has no idea how to fix her family as she wonders if they will ever be whole again.

If only Audrey had known three decades ago that a secret could have the power to split her family in two, and yet, also keep them linked. And when hostilities threaten to spiral out of control, a devastating choice that was made so many years ago is about to be revealed, testing this family once and for all.

Once the truth is revealed, will it be enough to put her family back together again or break them apart forever?

This book has all kinds of twists and turns and made me laugh out loud, gasp, cry, I think I even cursed at one point! It made me think that when we think we are protecting others, we could be altering unbeknownst situations in our future as well.

Captivating!

perfection

I really wanted to like this book, but the narrator’s shrill, high-pitched voice was annoying. Her volume varied frequently and meant constantly adjusting the volume. At times she seemed to be keening or screaming (when reading Jess’ part) but instead of being moving it was irritating. The story was hard to believe and I lost interest.
