My secret

Forty years ago, a secret was kept that changed the lives of two women forever.
Every day, as she looks at her son Jake, lying in a hospital bed, Beth clings to a glimmer of hope that insists on fading away. His life, still so short, depends on a kidney transplant. Neither she nor her husband are compatible, and they no longer have direct relatives.
Mary, Beth's single mother, has just passed away and always refused to talk about her father, even knowing that her grandson's life could depend on it. But everything changes when Beth visits her mother's house. A letter lost among Mary's belongings proves that Beth is her adoptive daughter. The possibility of finding relatives compatible with Jake becomes real for Beth.

This is the starting point for the discovery of a hitherto unknown past. Armed only with her determination and the few words she found, Beth begins a struggle against a wall of secrets, doubts, and silences.

My Secret is an intense and painfully moving novel that makes us believe that miracles can indeed happen.
