These Things Hidden by Heather Gudenkauf

5.0

I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway and though I was thrilled to win any book I didn't realize how lucky I really was. This book tells the story of four women and the way they are linked together through Allison. Allison is an 18 year old girl who just got out of jail and is trying to start her life over without the family who now pretend she doesn't exist. She went to jail for drowning her baby when she was just 15 years old but that is only the beginning of this story.

It was so well written I almost couldn't put it down. A really haunting story and yet it also contains something beautiful about the love of different kinds of mothers.
