A Mother's Secret by Caroline Finnerty

-

A Mother’s Secret is a story of two families brought together by tragedy. Rowan and Aiden live in Ireland with their three children. James and Helena are newly married but struggling in their marriage. One horrible car crash brings these families together in a way they never thought possible. Rowan and James were in the car together along with Rowan’s daughter, Milly, but no one knows why. As more information comes out about the crash, even more questions are asked. What happened the morning of the car crash?

Review

Everyone has secrets and there can be life changing consequences when they are discovered. This story is a heartbreaking picture into two grieving families. As I was reading it was hard to imagine what these two families are going through. I emphasized with both families and am very happy with the way the story ended. Throughout the book Aiden showed extreme emotional strength and I loved this from a male character. So many times the female character has to be the emotionally strong one and it was refreshing to see another view. I would recommend this book if you are looking for a quick, family focused read.

About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure.

When an alluring treble note wafts through his window, he begins an excited quest to find the answer. Playing his horn through his neighborhood, the boy draws other curious children to play their unique instruments along with him. Together, they played: “Lend your voice, play your part! Something grand is beginning― join us for the start!” The procession of music makers is touched with magic when their combined voices, raised in harmony, orchestrate a colorful miracle. The ease of poetry and vibrant il...
