Full Synopsis
Dear Anna,

What I have to tell you is difficult to write, but I know it will be far more difficult for you to hear, and I'm so sorry . . .

The unfinished letter is the only clue Tara and Emerson have to the reason behind their close friend Noelle's suicide. Everything they knew about Noelle—her calling as a midwife, her passion for causes, her love for her friends and family—described a woman who embraced life.

Yet there was so much they didn't know.

With the discovery of the letter and its heartbreaking secret, Noelle's friends begin to uncover the truth about this complex woman who touched each of their lives—and the life of a desperate stranger—with love and betrayal, compassion and deceit.

"[The] relationships between the female characters are spot on; the friendships and the dialogue are easy and comfortable." ---RT Book Reviews

"A complex, heart-wrenching tale, Chamberlains' latest novel offers a Jodi Picoult-like story line yanked from the most shocking of headlines." ---Booklist
