Secrets & Sins — Bettye Griffin

From the Author: Secrets & Sins contains several plot twists that I hope will come as a surprise to readers. I love getting reviews, but PLEASE be considerate of other readers who haven't read the book yet and do not divulge these twists in the plot. Thank you so much! -- B.

At the center of the story is their mother, Julia Scott Cheeks, who along with her devoted husband Melvin, has tried to keep two scandalous family secrets hidden and has been successful for 55 years…but when Robin mentions the name of the former classmate she has a romantic interest in, Julia fears that the events she has tried so hard and for so long to keep her children from knowing are in danger of being exposed…
