The Secrets She Keeps
A Novel
Book - 2015
"When Callie McBride finds a woman's phone number written on a scrap of paper her husband has thrown away, she thinks that her marriage is over. Callie flees to Nevada and her Aunt Nash's Tamarosa Ranch, where she's shocked to see that the place of so many happy childhood memories is in disrepair. Worse, Aunt Nash is acting bizarrely--hoarding stacks of old photographs, burying a book in the yard, and railing against Kit Covey, a handsome government park ranger who piques Callies interest"--Page 4 of cover.

Add a CommentI have to say I enjoy Calleti’s young adult novels better. This, her second book for adults, takes a look at the challenges of a long lasting marriage and how communication can break down. Callie and her sister leave their families to go help their Aunt Nash on her ranch in Nevada. Both sisters are struggling with their marriages, making it easy for them to spend time away from home. Aunt Nash is sick and focused on something that happened in 1951 but won’t share her problem with the girls. The story is a look at family history and adult relationships and how thoughtful people can repair what hurts them.
