Maggiori informazioni sul libro
In a gripping thriller, a long-held family secret threatens the life of an unsuspecting heiress. At eighty-two, Olivia Morrow, the last of her line, faces a crucial decision: reveal a secret or take it to her grave. She possesses letters from her deceased cousin, Sister Catherine, a nun being considered for sainthood after founding hospitals for disabled children. A miraculous recovery of a boy from brain cancer is attributed to her, following a prayer crusade led by the boy’s mother. However, the letters reveal that Catherine gave birth to a son at seventeen and gave him up for adoption. Olivia knows the father is Alex Gannon, a renowned doctor and inventor. Now, thirty-one-year-old pediatrician Dr. Monica Farrell, Catherine’s granddaughter, is the rightful heir to the family fortune. Revealing Monica’s true ancestry would betray Catherine’s wishes. Meanwhile, the Gannon fortune is mismanaged by Alex’s nephews, Greg and Peter, who are entangled in scandals—Greg faces criminal investigation, and Peter is a murder suspect. As Olivia contemplates her choice, those exploiting the Gannon inheritance will stop at nothing, even murder, to keep the secret buried. This riveting narrative delves into the intersection of medical science, faith, and the quest for identity by the daughter of an adopted man.
