An interesting exploration of how a promise to Lee, the woman she grew up with - who spent so much of her life looking after Sandy's family as their housekeeper, and kept all of their secrets - leads to Sandy's discovery of the unexpected secrets of Lee's own life.

This is one woman's journey of self discovery and a better understanding of her own past, which comes about as the direct result of delving into another's life. It gets 3.5 stars.

A beautiful and heartbreaking book about the love between the author and the woman who she considered to be her second mother. Whilst this book handled some extremely traumatic events it was done so with immense care, kindness, respect, and sensitivity. A testament to the secrets we keep to protect ourselves, and that love always wins out in the end.
