Whisper Me This: A Novel
In this Amazon Charts and Washington Post bestseller, a devastating secret is revealed, and a family must finally come to terms with the past.
Single mother Maisey Addington has always fallen short of her own mother's expectations--never married, a bit adrift, wasting her high IQ on dead-end jobs. The only thing Maisey's sure she's gotten right is her relationship with her twelve-year-old daughter, Elle...until a phone call blows apart the precarious balance of their lives. Maisey's mother is in a coma, and her aging father faces charges of abuse and neglect.
Back at her childhood home, Maisey must make a heartrending life-or-death decision. Her confused father has destroyed family records, including her mother's final wishes. Searching for answers, Maisey uncovers one unspeakable secret after another when she stumbles upon a shattering truth: a twin sister named Marley.
Maisey's obsession with solving the mystery of her sister forces her to examine her darkest memories and triggers a custody battle with Elle's father. Will Maisey's love for her daughter be strong enough to break a cycle of abuse and create a new beginning for them all?

While this book held my attention and was a quick read, I probably won't remember it much in a few days. This a story about a family torn apart by abuse and lies, not really new material. Maisey rushes home to her childhood home in Washington after learning that her mother is in a coma and her father may be arrested with abuse and neglect. How is this possible? Why is her father destroying family records/documents? As Maisey starts digging around her answers, she discovers she has a long lost twin sister. This leads to more questions. How far would you go to protect the ones you love the most? As you read more, backstories give answers but overall a bit predictable.
