Heartwarming and fresh, Sarah Morgan’s brilliant new novel is a witty and deeply uplifting look at the power of a family of women.
How to Keep a Secret by Sarah Morgan is another feather in her cap and it shows the quality and depth of her writing in this contemporary
women’s fictional story. The story follows the Stewart women from matriarch Nancy, her two daughters Jenna and Lauren and Mackenzie the granddaughter, as they spend a summer together working to bring back some normalcy after a sudden tragedy. Jenna and Lauren are as close as two sisters can be, especially after they share a devastating secret as children and how it formed them as adults. Now they are both faced with personal challenges and how they need to depend on family now more than ever as their secret is revealed to their mother. Mackenzie herself found out her own secret and is also dealing with the aftermath and where she goes from there. Nancy has the biggest challenge of finally being a mother for her daughters since she wasn’t there for them as they were growing up. Each of these women found inner strength to move past their hurts and reach a better understanding within their family unit. Seeing these 4 women come together for one another was masterfully crafted with warmth, poignancy and humor. Morgan brings out the best in relationships and shows how family is there through thick and thin. I simply loved this book!
