    Synopsis

    Every family has its secrets. Some are small, like telling a white lie or snooping through a private drawer. Others are more serious, like infidelity and betrayal. And some secrets are so terrible they must be hidden away in a deep, dark place, for if they ever came to light, they would surely tear a family apart The Tides are a family full of secrets. Returning to Clifftops, the rambling family house perched high on the Dorset coastline, youngest daughter Dora hopes for a fresh start, for herself and the new life she carries. But can long-held secrets ever really be forgiven? And even if you can forgive, can you ever really learn to love again?Secrets of the Tides is the spellbinding debut from Hannah Richell, a rich and compelling family drama with a dark thread of suspense at its heart.

                    1. I had formed to leave a comment, man do I have a difficult
                      time writing
                      a blog. Im endeavoring to kick start one on my website and I have
                      to say
                      its not easy at all. I do admire people like yourself who are
                      able to reveal anything easily. Keep up the good work!
