The Secret Women by Sheila Williams

4.0

I really enjoyed this one. Three very different women - Elise, Carmen and DeeDee- become friends after meeting in yoga class. They learn they share something in common - they’ve all lost their mothers recently. As they each work through their grief and take care of their mothers’ belongings they discover secrets that their mothers have been holding onto. This book is written from the perspective of each woman, then also dips into the voices of their mothers and the reader learns about those secrets. This is a beautiful story about family and the love of mothers. I loved seeing the friendship between the three women and how they supported each other and pushed each other to address the secrets they’ve learned. This is a great heartwarming family drama.
