I received a free download of "Redemption (Secrets and Lies, #3), from the author in exchange for an honest review.I have read all of Joanne Clancy's book, including this last one in the trilogy of Secrets and Lies.What an amazing writer and such a moving novel.I have nothing but praise for her work.Nothing happens to you in life... it happens for you.This novel takes off where two wives are waiting desparately to review news that their husbands are alive, following a Tsunami in Japan.Hope is married to Niall, and is currently six months pregnant. Niall hasn't heard the great news that he is going to be a father.Kerry is married to Conor and has two children.The second book in the trilogy ends with the cliff hanger that Niall/Conor has been found.Detective Isabel Murray advises Hope and Kerry they found a man resembling Conor/Niall, but he was found without any identification.He is currently being flown home from Japan and is expected to arrive in Cork, Ireland tomorrow morning and will then be transferred to Cork University Hospital.The tsunami had swept him into a building where he was trapped for several weeks.

He is currently in a medically induced coma, in ICU.Terry had too warn her inlaws, about the other woman, Hope, before they went to the hospital.Both women had identified "Him" as their husband. When Nurse Victoria Halliday was looking after her patient, he opened his eyes, but still in a coma.He could hear her talking, but couldn't make out the words.He remembers Hope and their life together. He should marry her? He didn't want to lose her.Hope talked nonstop to him,about their daily life in hopes of getting a reaction. It was like she was having conversations with a stranger. Then when she mentioned Kerry and his family, he opened his eyes.Hope decided to call Kerry and tell her to come in.Both women go through stages of anger, contempt and shear exhaustion.After time the anger and contempt turns to acceptance and respect for each other.This was an amazing novel to read.
