“An epic story of war and peace, love and fear, family
and friendship.”—Lori Nelson Spielman
In
New York Times bestselling author Jacqueline
Sheehan’s evocative and emotionally compelling novel, a
mother and her adopted daughter each embark on a journey of
self-discovery in the wake of a stunning revelation.
How do you keep a secret so huge that it
could devastate everyone you care about? For Kate Malloy,
the answer is simple: one lie at a time. That’s how she has
protected her daughter for more than a dozen years,
shielding her from a terrible truth. Sofia, a
fifteen-year-old soccer star living in New England,
believes she was born in Mexico and legally adopted by
Kate. But a posthumous letter from her stepfather tells
Sofia a different story—one of civil unrest and bloodshed,
death-defying heroism and child-smuggling, harrowing
sacrifice and desperate decisions.
Sofia’s trust in her mother is shattered. At last Kate must
do what she knows is right—accompany Sofia back to
Guatemala, the place where Kate found horror and heartache
but also the greatest joy of her life. As mother and
daughter confront the damage done by years of dangerous yet
necessary deceptions, they discover how much love, hope,
and happiness may still remain—if they have the courage to
face their past.
