A compelling novel about one womanβs search for the truth from the author of YOU WERE MEANT FOR ME.
After suffering a sudden, traumatic loss, historical novelist Susannah Gilmore decides to uproot her lifeβand the lives of her two childrenβand leave their beloved Brooklyn for the little town of Eastwood, New Hampshire.
While the trio adjusts to their new surroundings, Susannah is captivated by an unexpected find in her late parentsβ home: an unsigned love note addressed to her mother, in handwriting that is most definitely not her fatherβs.
Reeling from the thought that she never really knew her mother, Susannah finds mysteries everywhere she looks: in her daughterβs friendship with an older neighbor, in a charismatic local man to whom sheβs powerfully drawn, and in an eighteenth century crime sheβs researching for her next book. Compelled to dig into her motherβs past, Susannah discovers even more secrets, ones that surpass any fiction she could ever put to paper...
