Publisher Description
'Just for a moment, I was young and invincible again, back before I made the decision that changed the rest of my life....'
Susie did something that she knows she will always regret: giving her baby son up for adoption, to keep her infidelity secret from her family. Louise, Susie's daughter, feels the effects of that decision echoing down through the years - her mother has always been difficult, too strict with her but not strict enough with her sister, Grace, who is wild and out of control. And Danny, Susie's husband, adores her but has always sensed something wrong at the heart of their marriage.
When tragedy strikes the family, and a chance discovery threatens to bring the truth to light, the sisters' relationship is put to the test as they are faced with an impossible choice.
From the best-selling author of The Silent Wife, The Secret Child is a heartbreaking novel about family secrets and lies. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Jojo Moyes and Diane Chamberlain.
Customer Reviews
The secrets we keep
Thank you so very much for the secret child. I had a little tear of joy at the end. The story was so real and relatable. What a weight to carry for 40+ years!!!! The older generation are very good at keeping and holding secrets – family secrets. I could see the effect of Sue’s secret on the way she raised her children – more so Lou. I am glad that Danny was able to forgive and move on. You are correct about how siblings turn out even though raised in the same house.
I hope in this age and time, women can actually tell their story and not have to keep quiet about what happened to them. I hope this can change. Glad Grace reached out to Adam and thank God for good friends. I can’t imagine what it feels like to give up a child for adoption. Lovely book overall.
