I Can Keep a Secret

"Charlotte has always perceived her mother, Betty, a sever woman with a narrow world view, as vastly different from herself. Even as a child, Charlotte asked hard questions and pushed the rigid boundaries Betty was determined to keep in place. As Charlotte grows intpo adolescence, her experiences will unknowingly parallel those of her mother's, yet the two are unable to bridge an invisible gap, one which is rooted in the secrets each had painfully carried over time. Secrets are difficult to keep forever. Betty and Charlotte will find themselves at intersecting life crossroads when an intense period from Betty's past threatens to permeate the safe but not quite happy world she had created, leaving mother and daughter to grapple honestly together with new transparency."--Page 4 of cover
