The Lost Daughter

by Diane Chamberlain

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.For fans of JODI PICOULT, this is a must read. “Diane Chamberlain is a marvellously gifted author. Every book she writes is a gem.” Literary Times
