    The Summerville Sisters: An utterly emotional novel of secrets and family drama

    About this audiobook

    She stands on the doorstep and I catch my breath. Everything about her reminds me of my beloved mom, whose funeral was just a week ago. And when she says her name is Audrey – the name of my baby sister – my world falls apart.

    Because Audrey died in a car crash when I was a toddler. At least, that’s what my mother told me. Afterwards, my father couldn’t cope with the grief, and he left us. She brought me up on her own and was always fiercely protective. She never let me out of her sight.

    Now, as Audrey and I sip wine on my deck by the lakeside and begin to piece together the puzzle of our family history, it turns out the past didn’t happen the way I was told.

    It turns out my mother lied. And, as the secrets she kept from me finally come to light, everything I thought I knew about motherhood and family crumbles to dust. 

    What if I’m not who I thought I was? And will I ever be able to forgive my mom for what she did? 

    An utterly captivating and heart-wrenching novel about the resilience of the human heart and the depth of a mother’s love. Fans of Mary Alice Monroe, Pamela Kelley and Barbara O’Neal will be gripped by this emotionally charged and gripping story of family secrecy, sisterhood and the healing power of forgiveness.
