If You Must Know
Life turns upside down for two sisters in Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jamie Beck's emotional novel about how secrets and differences can break--or bind--a family.
Sisters Amanda Foster and Erin Turner have little in common except the childhood bedroom they once shared and the certainty each feels that her way of life is best. Amanda follows the rules--at the school where she works; in her community; and as a picture-perfect daughter, wife, and mother-to-be. Erin follows her heart--in love and otherwise--living a bohemian lifestyle on a shoestring budget and honoring her late father's memory with a passion for music and her fledgling bath-products business.
The sisters are content leading separate but happy lives in their hometown of Potomac Point until everything is upended by lies that force them to confront unsettling truths about their family, themselves, and each other. For sisters as different as these two, building trust doesn't come easily--especially with one secret still between them--but it may be the only way to save their family.
