Hiding from her tainted past. Will unraveling a long-buried deception let the truth set her free?

Wisconsin, present day. Audra March’s adult life is haunted by a teenage misstep. Taking an assumed name and enjoying simple things, the thirty-something comes upon a vintage recipe box while thrift shopping and hunts down the owner’s daughter.

Stumbling across a collection of letters, Audra unearths a secret its owner took to the grave and embarks on a path of surprising consequences. And though Ida Bealle can’t bear to admit to her now-grown daughter they don’t share blood, she feels the burden of the lie crushing her soul.
