The book focuses on two sisters, Suzanne and Taylor, their brother Stuart and a cousin Annie.Taylor married Jack Sullivan, who she thought was the man of her dreams, but he turns out to be cruel, a womanizer, and a blackmailer. Suzanne suffers a severe trauma the night of the wedding. Annie is pining for a married man, she is not married. They all have secrets and they all seem to revolve around Jack Sullivan, who is power hungry and now running for governor of the state of Mississippi. One by one their secrets are revealed. Highly recommended for fans of author, Sandra Brown. ( )

I wasn't sure I wanted to read this book (and I'm not even sure why) but it was next in the "to read" box so I decided to read it rather than set it aside. WoW! What a surprise! The stories of three (3) women are shared throughout the novel that could just as easily be a work of non-fiction. It is a poignant reminder that secrets always are revealed eventually no matter how carefully protected they seem. I would highly recommend this book for any reader who is wrestling with keeping a secret. It is a heartfelt portrayal of living and loving. ( )
