Carmela Chambers has spent her entire life trying to forget her past, a past filled with painful secrets, that if exposed, will destroy lives—her own included.
It was during the politically turbulent seventies in Kingston Jamaica, on the heels of her mother’s death that Carmela became the victim of a horrific sexual assault that left her traumatized and pregnant. Alone and desperate, she turned to the two women she trusted most—Pearl the family’s domestic helper and Mother Superior the nun who ran the local orphanage in the hills outside Kingston. Terrified that others including her father, a highly regarded politician, would find out what happened to her, arrangements were quickly made for Carmela’s baby girl to be adopted in Canada—as far away as possible from the Chambers family and the hungry Jamaican tabloids. But thirty years later, old secrets threaten to re-emerge with the arrival of a young Canadian woman, Asia Stanton, the daughter Carmela gave up as a teen. Her quest is simple. Who is my father? Carmela, now a happily married obstetrician with three sons, must decide if Asia’s need-to-know is worth the risk of destroying everything she holds dear in her life. Worse, lurking in the shadows are dangerous others who know Carmela’s secrets. Silence, though, has a price. Even if it means murder.”
