THE SECRET BETWEEN US explores the limits of responsibility—mother to daughter, daughter to father, husband to wife.

After Deborah Monroe picks up her sixteen-year-old daughter, Grace, from a party, they are driving home when their car hits a man in the dark. Although Grace was at the wheel, Deborah sends her home, insistent on facing the police alone. Her decision then turns into a deception which takes on a life of its own, threatening their family, as well as the special bond between mother and daughter.

Once again Delinsky has written a superbly crafted book, perfectly targeted to reading groups and fans of provocative fiction.
