Secrets cannot stay buried forever
In the town of Ross Prairie, Caroline Webb and Sarah Bilyk are bound by family, duty, and a decades-old act of betrayal. On opposing sides of a long-simmering feud between their husbands’ families, the two women meet again after years of estrangement when Caroline moves into the same nursing home as Sarah’s father.
Seeing each other sparks memories — of young love and the path to a fateful summer day that changed everything. Together, Caroline and Sarah uncover a truth that alters their lives forever, proving that love will overcome heartache and that friendship survives time.
A heartbreaking novel with complex, vividly-imagined characters against the backdrop of the expansive Canadian Prairie. Perfect for Fans of Ann Hood's The Obituary Writer.
