If love is the only true gift, why doesn't everyone grab hold and never let go? Fanny may be a small-town defense attorney in upstate New York, but it's 1961 with growing opportunities for women. She's not about to listen to naysayers who encourage her to marry and to stay at home and raise a family. Fanny meets Gina, whose husband Kenny is pinned by society as a lesser man because of his limited intelligence. When Kenny is accused of murder, Fanny takes on the case. Gina hopes for her grandmother's support, but a hidden act of betrayal during the WWII years when Gina and her grandmother lived in Berlin, Germany, threatens to unsettle Gina and destabilize the case Fanny is building on behalf of Kenny. Set against the backdrop of the construction of the Berlin Wall, The Last Secret Kept explores the beauty of individualism while demolishing the invisible walls built between ourselves and our loved ones.

Family Secrets

Good Family relations and keeping secrets never mix, which is what ”The Last Secret Kept” is about. Three generations of women with secrets and the dysfunction these secrets cause could make this a good book. But I felt there was too much redundancy/repetition in the writing. If some editing had taken place, the author could have tied up the loose ends at the end of her story. Thank you to librarything.com and Elaine Stock for an advance copy of this book for review.
