Emily Giffin Three generations of women. Secrets in the present and from the past. A captivating tale of life loss and love. Neva Bradley a third - generation midwife is determined to keep the details surrounding her own pregnancy - including the identity of the baby's father - hidden from her family and co - workers for as long as possible. Her mother Grace finds it impossible to let this secret rest. The more Grace prods the tighter Neva holds to her story and the more the lifelong differences between private quiet Neva and open gregarious Grace strain their relationship. For Floss Neva's grandmother and a retired midwife Neva's situation thrusts her back sixty years in time to a secret that eerily mirrors her granddaughter's - one which if revealed will have life - changing consequences for them all. As Neva's pregnancy progresses and speculation makes it harder and harder to conceal the truth Floss wonders if hiding her own truth is ultimately more harmful than telling it.
