Publisher's summary

Dear Anna, What I have to tell you is difficult to write, but I know it will be far more difficult for you to hear, and I'm so sorry.

The unfinished letter is the only clue Tara and Emerson have to the reason behind their close friend Noelle's suicide. Everything they knew about Noelle - her calling as a midwife, her passion for causes, her love for her friends and family - described a woman who embraced life. Yet there was so much they didn't know.

With the discovery of the letter and its heartbreaking secret, Noelle's friends begin to uncover the truth about this complex woman who touched each of their lives - and the life of a desperate stranger - with love and betrayal, compassion and deceit.

Hold Your Breath

Fabulous storytelling. I felt like I was holding my breath waiting for the conclusion. There are so many twists and turns that you'll never see what's coming next.

I couldn’t stop listening!

A clever story about the bonds between mothers, daughters and friends. I love listening to Cassandra Campbell!

Good story but did not like some of the narrators

The narrator for Anna spoke too quickly and without much emotion. I did not like the narrator for Noelle either. The story was interesting, although unbelievable at times. Love Diane Chamberlain and this one is definitely yet another page turner by her.

Loved the story

I loved the story but had a hard time completing it as I found the narrators voices annoying and hard to listen to. Their voices were like nails on a chalkboard. I would not listen to a book in the future if they were narrating.

I Should’ve Read This One Sooner!

As with all of Diane’s books, when they end, I want more. I kept this book in my library for several months while reading some of her other novels, and it happens now to be one of my favorites. This book has twists & turns and I could barely put it down. Well worth the read!!

The Midwife Confession

What an awesome story. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time! I will definitely look into reading more of Ms Chamberlains books.
