My Stepmother's Secret

In the blink of an eye, life as Gabbie knows it crumbles. With her deceitful husband gone and her family shattered, she's left with no choice but to return to her childhood home – a house haunted by the woman who shattered their lives. Her stepmother. Her father's final wish was for his second wife to reside in their home indefinitely, a fact her stepmother clung to without a hint of leaving. Their relationship, strained and distant, must now weather an unexpected storm as she seeks her stepmother's help – for her daughters' sake, Olivia and Alice. As they are compelled to live under the same roof, the unravelling truths test their fragile bond. Will it shatter entirely or could it be their salvation, providing the refuge she and her daughters so desperately need? An emotional story about family secrets and lies, and the lengths a parent will go to, to protect their children. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Jojo Moyes and Kate Hewitt. © 2023 Emma Robinson (P)2024 Saga Egmont
