Others wait patiently to be discovered.
When Angela and Gail clear their late mother’s house, inside the suitcase filled with treasured family keepsakes they find a letter and the story their mother never intended anyone to read during her lifetime.
Beneath the façade of a devoted single mother lies a past marked by abuse, desperate choices, and a friendship that would change everything. 
As Angela and Gail uncover truths that challenge all they believed about their family, they are forced to confront difficult questions about justice, forgiveness, and secrets passed from one generation to the next.
The Secret Legacy is an emotionally compelling novel about the resilience of women, the complexities of friendship, moral ambiguity and the extraordinary lengths people will go to protect those they love.
