by Elizabeth Berg
A partial synopsis from Good Reads: It begins with the sudden revelation of astonishing secrets—secrets that have shaped the personalities and fates of three siblings, and now threaten to tear them apart. In renowned author Elizabeth Berg’s moving new novel, unearthed truths force one seemingly ordinary family to reexamine their disparate lives and to ask themselves: Is it too late to mend the hurts of the past?
My thoughts: Three siblings raised in the same home by the same parents have very different personalities along with varying memories of their childhood. Laura and Steve are overwhelmed as Caroline asks them to recall specific events as she reveals her perspective. When an aunt trusts Laura with a family secret, she begins to understand what Caroline is trying to tell them. I found the story very interesting, but not one of my favorites. For me, the book was OK, but not great.
