Publisher's Summary

“For fans who appreciate emotionally wrenching reads such as those by Sarah Jio or Kristin Hannah.” (Library Journal)

“Fans of Jodi Picoult and Kristin Hannah now have a new go-to author.” (Sally Hepworth, best-selling author of The Secrets of Midwives)

From the best-selling author of The Things We Cannot Say, Before I Let You Go, and the upcoming The Warsaw Orphan, comes a poignant post-WWII novel that explores the expectations society places on women set within an engrossing family mystery that may unravel everything once believed to be true.

With her father recently moved to a care facility, Beth Walsh volunteers to clear out the family home and is surprised to discover the door to her childhood playroom padlocked. She’s even more shocked at what’s behind it - a hoarder’s mess of her father’s paintings, mounds of discarded papers and miscellaneous junk in the otherwise fastidiously tidy house.

As she picks through the clutter, she finds a loose journal entry in what appears to be her late mother’s handwriting. Beth and her siblings grew up believing their mother died in a car accident when they were little more than toddlers, but this note suggests something much darker.

Beth soon pieces together a disturbing portrait of a woman suffering from postpartum depression and a husband who bears little resemblance to the loving father Beth and her siblings know. With a newborn of her own and struggling with motherhood, Beth finds there may be more tying her and her mother together than she ever suspected.

Don't miss Kelly Rimmer's upcoming and unforgettable novel, The Warsaw Orphan.

Emotional story

I really enjoyed this story. As a new mom, it definitely helps normalize the hardship and isolation that comes in various moments of earlier motherhood. It also tackles important issues about the lines of baby blues vs. postpartum depression.

Family Bonds

This book is amazing and heartbreaking all at the same time. A father’s love for his children is his legacy.

Boring. Sooooo breathy and boring.

I’ve never not finished a book but this one would not and could not hold my attention. It was boring. The reader was boring. The characters were boring. Two Stars is generous.

Great story, performance a little lacking

The overall storytelling was well done. Maryann however has a different voiceover at times and a main character (Tim) sounds like a robot. Once I sped up the reading it was much more enjoyable.

A Good Read

This is my first novel by this author. I enjoyed the story and will look for another of her books. The story was a bit long-winded and I confess I skipped a few parts. I liked the characters and thought them to be realistic and was interested in their development. I thought the narration was terrible in parts. It was difficult to determine which voice I was listening to and many times, the voice was mechanical. Also it was easily identifiable when the narrator took a break and restarted.

A bit too drawn out but a great story nonetheless.

My first Kelly Rimmer novel and it won’t be my last! She is a wonderful writer. Heartfelt with characters you can relate to. At times, I felt that some scenes were a bit drawn out. I liked the flipping back and forth between present and past.

Mediocre at best

The story wasn’t that compelling and I found my mind wandering. A lot.

I did not enjoy the narration for Grace’s character and found myself skipping through her parts.
