From Goodreads
Molly Arnette is very good at keeping secrets. She lives in San Diego with a husband she adores, and they are trying to adopt a baby because they can't have a child on their own. But the process of adoption brings to light many questions about Molly's past and her family—the family she left behind in North Carolina twenty years before. The mother she says is dead but who is very much alive. The father she adored and whose death sent her running from the small community of Morrison's Ridge. Her own birth mother whose mysterious presence in her family raised so many issues that came to a head. The summer of twenty years ago changed everything for Molly and as the past weaves together with the present story, Molly discovers that she learned to lie in the very family that taught her about pretending. If she learns the truth about her beloved father's death, can she find peace in the present to claim the life she really wants?
My thoughts
I gave this a 4 stars or 8/10. This is a book that I read via my local Library.
I have read books by Diane Chamberlain in the past, but it's a while since I read one and this one I think just took my fancy while in the Library one day. This was an enjoyable read that tells the story of Molly Arnette with the past being interspersed among the present as the story moves along.
Every family has it's secrets and Molly's family is no different than any other in that respect. As Molly tries to come to terms with the past and all that happened, can she find a way to move on and find the closure that she needs to be able to find peace in her life.
