"With empathy and keen insight, Sally Hepworth delivers a
page-turning novel about the complex, lovely, and even
heartbreaking relationships between mothers and
daughters.—Emily Gifin
Three generations of women
Secrets in the present and from the past
A captivating tale of life, loss, and love…
Neva Bradley, a third-generation midwife, is determined to
keep the details surrounding her own pregnancy—including the
identity of the baby’s father— hidden from her family and
co-workers for as long as possible. Her mother, Grace, finds
it impossible to let this secret rest. The more Grace prods,
the tighter Neva holds to her story, and the more the
lifelong differences between private, quiet Neva and open,
gregarious Grace strain their relationship. For Floss,
Neva’s grandmother and a retired midwife, Neva’s situation
thrusts her back sixty years in time to a secret that eerily
mirrors her granddaughter’s—one which, if revealed, will
have life-changing consequences for them all. As Neva’s
pregnancy progresses and speculation makes it harder and
harder to conceal the truth, Floss wonders if hiding her own
truth is ultimately more harmful than telling it. Will these
women reveal their secrets and deal with the inevitable
consequences? Or are some secrets best kept hidden?
