![]() ![]() As Nadia hides her secret from everyone, including Aubrey, her God-fearing best friend, the years move quickly. ![]() But the pregnancy that results from this teen romance - and the subsequent cover-up - will have an impact that goes far beyond their youth. Luke Sheppard is twenty-one, a former football star whose injury has reduced him to waiting tables at a diner. Mourning her own mother's recent suicide, she takes up with the local pastor's son. It's the last season of high school life for Nadia Turner, a rebellious, grief-stricken, seventeen-year-old beauty. All good secrets have a taste before you tell them, and if we'd taken a moment to swish this one around our mouths, we might have noticed the sourness of an unripe secret, plucked too soon, stolen and passed around before its season. The Mothers is a dazzling debut about young love, a big secret in a small community and the moments that haunt us most. From the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Vanishing Half. ![]()
