Truths I Never Told You

De: Kelly Rimmer

Narrado por: Sarah Mollo-Christensen, Piper Goodeve, Jean Ann Douglass

“For fans who appreciate emotionally wrenching reads such as those by Sarah Jio or Kristin Hannah.” –Library Journal

“Fans of Jodi Picoult and Kristin Hannah now have a new go-to author.” —Sally Hepworth, bestselling author of The Secrets of Midwives

From the bestselling author of The Things We Cannot Say, Before I Let You Go, and The Warsaw Orphan, comes a poignant post-WWII novel that explores the expectations society places on women set within an engrossing family mystery that may unravel everything once believed to be true.

With her father recently moved to a care facility, Beth Walsh volunteers to clear out the family home and is surprised to discover the door to her childhood playroom padlocked. She’s even more shocked at what’s behind it—a hoarder’s mess of her father’s paintings, mounds of discarded papers and miscellaneous junk in the otherwise fastidiously tidy house.

As she picks through the clutter, she finds a loose journal entry in what appears to be her late mother’s handwriting. Beth and her siblings grew up believing their mother died in a car accident when they were little more than toddlers, but this note suggests something much darker.

Beth soon pieces together a disturbing portrait of a woman suffering from postpartum depression and a husband who bears little resemblance to the loving father Beth and her siblings know. With a newborn of her own and struggling with motherhood, Beth finds there may be more tying her and her mother together than she ever suspected.

Don’t miss Kelly Rimmer’s newest novel, The Paris Agent, where a family’s innocent search for answers brings a long-forgotten, twenty-five-year-old mystery featuring two female SOE operatives comes to light!

wonderful book with such a strong message

narration was great. so easy to follow. I love Kelly rimmers books. wonderfully written and a strong message for all women!

Pro Abortion

While I enjoyed the story of this book, it disturbed me that the book was pro abortion. I believe life is sacred and while there were these sorts of issues in that day, I don’t believe that making abortion the answer to postpartum depression should be the lesson learned from that era. There were other solutions available for pregnancy even then. We need to learn from this that postpartum depression is not something to be ashamed of. Getting help is the best solution for everyone.

Relationships—marrying an abuser

The storyline is an important one-domestic abuse. While I’m glad I read it—-I feel it’s for younger women—those forming relationships. I’m nearing 80 and not anticipating that again.

Great Listen!

I loved this story, wanted to be in my car longer to hear what happens next. Truly a story that covers what has happened and where the world is now even though in fiction there are lots of truths included.

a simple but absorbing story

I got this book based on a recommendation and it didn't disappoint. A simple story of a woman where just a few decades ago had very few choices.
