Hannah Sterling's parents shielded her from family secrets.
When her widowed mother dies, the mysteries haunt her to the point she cannot
function. She discovers a letter and decides to pursue all leads in the hopes
of eliminating their effects on her life.
Against her aunt's wishes, she travels to Germany. More
questions surface and few answers until her tour guide, Carl Schmidt, reveals
what he knows.
Cathy Gohlke once again crafts a book that keeps me thinking
between reading opportunities. Her characters' dialogue and emotional responses
to their situations are natural and seamless.
Very few authors achieve the level of writing I see in this
book and her other novels. These are the types of books aspiring novelists
need to absorb.
Whether you're a reader or a writer, Secrets She Kept will
satisfy your thirst for a well-written story.
A scale of one to five is inadequate. This one is off the charts.

internal editor kicking in? Please share.

book reviews or ignore them? Why?

Hi Susan: I find it difficult to keep the internal editor turned off. I am reading a book of Peter Marshall's sermons and prayers and found two errors on the same page. I don't intend to read a book looking for the uncaught typos. They just pop up. Blessings
Cathy is one of my favorite authors. Looking forward to reading this story. Thanks for sharing your review!
