Truths I Never Told You
TRUTHS I NEVER TOLD YOU
From the bestselling author of The Things We Cannot Say comes a poignant novel about the fault in memories and the lies that can bond families together—or tear them apart.
With her father recently moved to a care facility for his worsening dementia, Beth Walsh volunteers to clear out the family home. She’s surprised to discover the door to her childhood playroom padlocked, and even more shocked at what’s behind it–a hoarder’s mess of her father’s paintings, mounds of discarded papers, and miscellaneous junk in the otherwise fastidiously tidy house.
As she picks through the clutter, she finds a loose journal entry in what appears to be her late mother’s handwriting. Beth and her siblings grew up believing their mother died in a car accident when they were little more than toddlers, but this note suggests something much darker. Beth soon pieces together a disturbing portrait of a woman suffering from post-partum depression and a husband who bears little resemblance to the loving father Beth and her siblings know. As a new mom also struggling with motherhood, Beth finds there may be more tying her and her mother together than she ever suspected.
Exploring the expectations society places on women of every generation, Kelly Rimmer explores the profound struggles two women unwittingly share across the decades set within an engrossing family mystery that may unravel everything they believed to be true.
