Not all mothers are created equal… Some are better at hiding the truth.
Crippled with anxiety, Sophie is desperate to overcome the pain of losing her husband and only child in a freak car accident. Living and working in isolation with only the company of her dog Miss Molly, Sophie agrees to take on a job reviewing the manuscript of an up-and-coming writer. But this isn’t any story. It is one that unearths old secrets and to discover the truth, Sophie must find the courage to embark on a search that will change her life forever.
On the outside, Love Mommy blogging queen Madelyn-May has it all. To her online community she is the perfect mother. She has a successful husband, perfect twins, and an idyllic life. What they don’t know is Madelyn-May also has a secret. When her past collides with the present, Madelyn-May is forced to make a choice that could destroy everything she loves.
Would you risk destroying a family, if it meant healing your own heart? Would you tell the truth, if it meant losing everything you love?
The Secrets We Keep is a confronting look at the complexities of family and lengths a mother will go to for her child.
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
“If you want to add this to your To Be Read List, you certainly can because this nail-biting thriller gets you and at the same time makes you emotional. There is a beautiful pain this book leaves behind, and I certainly couldn’t figure out the cover till the end and that is also something that I was not expecting… NOT AT ALL”
“This is one intense, twisted, addictive, complex, jaw-dropping novel! Not only is this a very well-written book with wonderfully interesting characters, but the suspense builds at just the right pace as the story unfolds.”
“This novel had quite a few twists and turns and the twists are so juicy that I couldn’t stop reading”
“The story and how the characters are interconnected is an interesting twist, I can’t say I’ve read before. This book was hard to put down because I felt like I was a spectator with a front row seat to one highly dysfunctional family.”
“The book touches on so many sources of pain addressing each with intelligence, empathy, and humanity. It is a true thriller in women’s fiction”
‘The Secrets We Keep was by far the best book I have read this year. Many twists and turns throughout kept me looking forward to my reading time each day. The ending was fantastic.”

Sounds like a good read
The book sounds interesting, thank
Book sounds like a great read
What an intriguing book! Great cover too.
Love the use of the word “booktovert”. Books have been known to turn many an introvert into an evangelist: “Read this, you’ll love it, let’s talk about it, what’s your favorite book”, so I think you have that word just right.
What advice do you have for new writers?
I like the title & cover. Sounds like a great book.
The title is like an invitation, if we want to know the secrets contained we must read the book.
The title is intriguing and one to whet the imagination.
An intriguing introduction to the book. Suspense and mystery were the first books I enjoyed and my main reads for many years. This one sounds like a very good read. Best wishes for a successful release.
