Everyone has family secrets and skeletons in their closets, but for David and Jack Dover these family secrets are about to become known along with the hidden lies. They believed their mother had been committed to a mental hospital when they were young boys, they were raised by their father and grandparents. When their father died the course of their life changed forever. Their father left his journal to the boys with the request read it. He had recorded his thoughts and memories in his journal, including the truth about their mother.
Family Secrets or Lies is the first book for Ms. Steever and it was very hard to put down. She draws the reader right into the middle of the plot along with the characters. The book is so realistic that I felt as if I was reading nonfiction. Highly recommended.
