Davis wowed me with her flawless blending of past and present in The Secrets She Carried. Her compassion for her characters made me care, and her haunting tale kept the pages flying. A poignant, mysterious and heartfelt story.

I read Barbara Davis's debut novel, The Secrets She Carried, deep into the night--one minute rushing to discover how the mysteries resolved, the next slowing to save her lovely and assured writing. Adele Laveau's haunting voice and Leslie's Nichols' journey toward understanding lingered long after I read the final page of this engrossing tale.
