"Grabs you from page one and doesn't let you go. The writing is visceral, the problems are real, and there are no clear solutions. You won't want to put it down."  --Emily Giffin, bestselling author of "Something Borrowed""Touching, hopeful, and so real. I loved these characters and this novel." --Luanne Rice, bestselling author of The Silver Boat"Rarely do I find a book that stays with me long after I've finished it, but this is one. Warm, witty, thoughtful and heartbreaking, and that ending--I'm still thinking about it." --Stefanie Wilder-Taylor, Sippy Cups are Not for Chardonnay"Haunting, hopeful, and beautifully written. I couldn't put this book down, and I can't stop thinking about it." --Allie Larkin, bestselling author of Stay"A captivatingly honest book that you won't soon forget."  --Lisa Tucker, bestselling author of Once Upon a Day Product Description Cadence didn’t sit down one night and decide that downing two bottles of wine was a brilliant idea.   Her drinking snuck up on her - as a way to sleep, to help her relax after a long day, to relieve some of the stress of the painful divorce that’s left her struggling to make ends meet with her five-year old son, Charlie.  It wasn’t always like this. Just a few years ago, Cadence seemed to have it all—a successful husband, an adorable son, and a promising career as a freelance journalist.  But with the demise of her marriage, her carefully constructed life begins to spiral out of control.  Suddenly she is all alone trying to juggle the demands of work and motherhood.                Logically, Cadence knows that she is drinking too much, and every day begins with renewed promises to herself that she will stop.  But within a few hours, driven by something she doesn’t understand, she is reaching for the bottle - even when it means not playing with her son because she is too tired, or dropping him off at preschool late, again.  And even when one calamitous night it means leaving him alone to pick up more wine at the grocery store.  It’s only when her ex-husband shows up at her door to take Charlie away that Cadence realizes her best kept secret has been discovered…. Heartbreaking, haunting, and ultimately life-affirming, Best Kept Secret is more than just the story of Cadence—it’s a story of how the secrets we hold closest are the ones that can most tear us apart.   Best Kept Secret eBook: Amy Hatvany
