Summary:

Set in Beaufort S.C. in 2005, the novel examines secret keeping and the journey to healing. The story centers around happily married Shelby and the reappearance in her life of the son she gave up for adoption 35 years earlier. Her reaction, the reaction of her husband, and the effect of a secret disclosed on her "perfect life" are examined both from her perspective, and from the perspective of an adoptee's right to know.--Publisher.
