 Would you live a lie to keep your child? 

 In 1977, pregnant Genevieve Russell disappeared. Twenty years later, her remains are discovered and Timothy Gleason is charged with murder. But there is no sign of the unborn child.

 CeeCee Wilkes knows how Genevieve died - because she was there. She also knows what happened to the missing infant, because two decades ago CeeCee made the devastating choice to raise the baby as her own.

 Now Timothy Gleason is facing the death penalty, and CeeCee has another choice to make. Tell the truth and destroy her family. Or let an innocent man die to protect a lifetime of lies.

Before The Storm

1960. Dans les champs de tabac de Caroline du Nord, Jane Forrester et Ivy Hart ne pourraient mener des existences plus différentes. A quinze ans, Ivy travaille dur pour faire vivre sa famille, notamment « bébé William », âgé de deux ans qui souffre d’un retard mental. Au contraire, Jane est confortablement mariée et rien, dans son milieu bien-pensant, n’exige d’elle qu’elle donne de sa personne. Sauf sa conscience et sa sensibilité. Bravant son mari et les conventions sociales, elle s’engage au service des pauvres – au service de la famille d’Ivy Hart. Une proximité qui lui ouvre les yeux sur des secrets insoupçonnables et un scandale humain qui devient sa bataille. Une histoire inspirée d’événements réels, dans le Sud profond des Etats-Unis, qui plonge le lecteur au cœur d’une tragédie et d’une solidarité incroyablement émouvante et romanesque entre femmes.
