A Secret in the Family
Leah Mercer
‘Wow… From the start to finish, I was literally hooked… The ending was what blew me away… Unputdownable, emotional and heartbreaking.’ Tropicalgirlreadsbooks, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rachel sat at the kitchen table, trying to take it all in. Clutching a faded photograph and an unknown necklace in her hands, she realises that everything she thought she knew about her family has been destroyed in an instant. What had her father done?
As her frail mother sleeps soundly upstairs, Rachel thinks back to the home that was once her sanctuary. With a devoted husband and young children herself, Rachel has always wanted to provide a loving home for her own family. It’s what she always thought she had. Until now.
But then she remembers. Her father’s absences from home on long work trips. Her mother, often tight-lipped and the accident which cost her father his life and drove a wedge between Rachel and her mother for years.
As she looks at the unknown girl in the photo, Rachel believes that she holds the key to who her father really was. But as she delves into a lifetime of secrets, Rachel knows that what she is about to discover has the potential to destroy her family forever. Will she risk everything to find out who she really is?
A completely addictive and heartwrenching story about deception and the secrets that lie behind a seemingly ordinary family, perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Barbara O’Neal and The Silent Daughter.
