Book description
The Sunday Times No. 1 paperback bestseller, warm and moving - another
gem from the much-loved Cathy Kelly.
Keep a secret too long and it will creep out when you least expect it…
Behind the shining windows and rose-bedecked gardens of Summer Street,
there are lots of secrets. There's the one that hard-working single
mother, Faye, hides from her teenage daughter, Amber. And there's the
one that thirty-year-old Maggie hides from herself.
When fiery Amber decides to throw away her future for love, and when
Maggie ends up back home looking after her sick mother, their secrets
begin to bubble over.
The only person on Summer Street who appears to know all the answers is
their friend Christie. Wise and kind, she can see into other people's
hearts to solve their problems. Except that this time, the secrets she's
hidden from her beloved husband and grown up sons suddenly reappear.
