A Dark Secret

In the irresistible tradition of Eileen Goudge, Dark Secret is a compelling page-turner that tests the family bond between two very different sisters–and exposes a lifetime of deception.
Karen Bradley has not seen her sister in years, not since Sharlene ran off to New York to escape the poverty and shame she felt living as a mixed race child in the slums of Detroit. Karen, a devoted daughter, is horrified to learn that her mother is dying of a rare illness — and only Sharlene can save her.

Now calling herself “Camille” — and passing as a white woman orphaned as a child — Sharlene has remade her life — and her past. Engaged to a rich and powerful Southern aristocrat who adores her, “Camille” has everything she wanted: money, prestige and a law career.

All her hopes for the future — and the wedding that will seal her new life — depend on her hidden past remaining hidden. But will the price of her new life be her mother’s early death?

Or will Karen expose her sister’s Dark Secret?
