The Secret Between Us by Barbara Delinski

I like this author and I like this book. Delinski has a way of writing that lets the reader know all the secrets and makes you unable to stop turning the pages because you can't wait to find out how it will all unfold. This was no exception.

The story centers around Deborah and her daughter Grace who, while driving home during a rain storm, hits something. It turns out, that something was Grace's history teacher. Initially, Deborah doesn't correct the investigators when they assume she was driving, but after the teacher dies and Grace is consumed with grief and regret, she realizes she has to do something. Ultimately, everyone confesses...Deborah to the false report, Grace to several wrong-doings and the teacher to putting himself in the path of the vehicle to commit suicide. Through it all, Deborah questions the relationships of her father and ex-husband not only with her, but with her children and sister as well. And surprisingly, she develops a relationship with the teacher's brother as they struggle to figure out exactly what happened.

Would I recommend this book? Yes.
