The main problem about keeping a secret from your family is the risk that eventually it will surface, and that's exactly what happens to Natalie and Alex. The story dives right in to the drama, without immediately revealing the secret to us readers. However as the story unfolds we discover all.It's a thought-provoking story that made me wonder how I would have handled the situation. Confronting tragic issues from the past is hard enough, but having to reveal something that you'd rather stayed buried takes courage and strength.This is a gritty novel that doesn't pull punches, yet there is warmth, love and tenderness among the angst. It's not a particularly heavy read even though it touches on serious issues. It's a wonderful story and I highly recommend it.
