It Started with a Secret, Paperback

Readers of Sophie Kinsella and Elin Hilderbrand will love this perfect vacation read from Jill Mansell, New York Times and #1 international bestselling author of Maybe This Time

Their happy-ever-after is within reach...but only if they're willing to tell the truth.

Lainey and Kit arrive at their new jobs in blissful, summery Cornwall only to find themselves in the midst of a lovable but chaotic family--where every member is having an identity crisis at the same time. Widowed mom Majella has done her best for years, but can't quite grasp why things are falling apart. It's what she doesn't know that's causing the chaos, because everyone is keeping secrets.

In classic Jill Mansell style, our heroine and her friends are drawn through a hilarious multi-generational soap opera in which, by the end, happily-ever-afters are available to anyone willing to tell the truth about their heart's desire.
