Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này

Quand sa sœur Merry s’éteint à l’âge de trente-deux ans, Jillian Season, bouleversée, retourne à Evanston, dans la vieille maison familiale, après des années d’absence. Sur place, elle retrouve Beatrice et Rose, ses deux autres sœurs cadettes, dont elle s’est hélas beaucoup éloignée à la suite d’une tragédie qui les a séparées. Aujourd’hui, c’est le cœur gonflé d’espoir qu’elle tente de renouer des liens avec ses sœurs, autrefois si proches. Mais elle voit son rêve voler en éclats face à la révélation d’un secret. Merry a en effet formulé une ultime requête avant de mourir : retrouver l’enfant que Jillian a mis au monde adolescente. Son enfant.
Comment son secret, si minutieusement dissimulé, a-t-il pu être découvert ? Et surtout, comment trouvera-t-elle la force d’affronter son passé et de se retrouver face à elle-même?
