The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes
by Diane Chamberlain
ISBN # 978-0778325314
An unsolved murder. A missing child. A lifetime of deception.......
Regret is one of my biggest fears in life. You can't go back and undo what has already been done. It haunts me and this book confronts regret with breathtaking boldness. I loved this book. It held my interest and only gained fury as I turned each page!
I also think this book had a lot to do with mother and daughter relationships and family secrets that blow you out of the water. I'll never forget a family secret that I stumbled upon a few years ago. I was going through an old chest of my grandmothers when I found an old tea stained bag filled with little wooden baby blocks. I rummaged more and found a birth and death certificate for a baby boy belonging to my grandmother, but not to my grandfather. My eyes were bulging out of my head! I could barely believe it. My grandmother had been married before my grandfather and had a little boy who died of SIDS. Its crazy when you open up a secret world to your past. This book's opening to the past was like a fault line opening up on the earth and swallowing everything you thought was real up whole, especially the relationship between a mother and a daughter!
I really loved this book. Just a good story. It had definite moral lessons criss-crossing all over it but they were not so deep or too hard won that you got lost in that. You got lost in the story which is a tell tale sign of a brilliant writer! Loved the book and highly recommend it!
