Description

Can a mother be true to her children if she cannot be true to herself?

Lucy dreamed of having a successful career after college. But when she found herself alone and pregnant with twins, she knew she had to abandon her studies to raise her children. Even if it meant losing someone she loves …

Now as a mother to 17 year olds, Lucy is determined they will have all the opportunities she missed out on, and that they won’t make the same mistakes she made.

But what if her dreams for her children aren’t what they really want? Is she forcing her children to live her life for her? Might Lucy actually be pushing the children for whom she gave up everything, to their breaking points?

As her beautiful and sensitive daughter Kelly contemplates the unthinkable, Lucy’s secrets are finally revealed and she is forced to face up to some difficult home truths.

Can Lucy give up her dreams to let her children find their own? And will her secrets bring her family closer together or push them further apart?

If you love Jodi Picoult, Jojo Moyes and Nicholas Sparks, you’ll love this heart-breaking novel from Sinéad Moriarty. Our Secrets and Lies is a gripping story of motherhood and love and will have you hooked until the very last page.
