Hidden Family Secrets

 


A Young girl leaves everything behind when she marries. She was frightened and doubted her choice.

Her husband was eager for the change.  He was excited for their future. He was proud of his new wife. She was a beauty.


Duncan and Meg move into the Todd's home to learn the weaving trade.  Duncan hoped one day to have his own business.

Adultery, lies and deceit changes the course of all their futures. These  "Hidden Family Secrets" can ruin their families and the world as they know it.

I loved the story with all the twists and turns.

I received this book from Boldwood Books to review.
