title: The Art of Keeping Secrets: A Novel
author:  Rachael Johns 
description: "The bond between Flick, Neve, and Emma blossomed as their sons grew up, but even best friends keep secrets from one another... Fans of emotional, issue driven women's fiction will welcome Johns' U.S. women's fiction debut." -Booklist<br /><br />"A compelling and poignant story of dark secrets and turbulent relationships... The characters are funny and flawed and filled with the kind of raw vulnerability that makes your heart ache for them." -Nicola Moriarty, bestselling author of THE FIFTH LETTER<br /><br />"Written with compassion and real insight, THE ART OF KEEPING SECRETS peeks inside the lives of three ordinary women and the surprising secrets they live with. Utterly absorbing and wonderfully written, Johns explores what secrets can do to a relationship, and pulls apart the notion that some secrets are best kept. It is that gripping novel that, once started, will not allow you to do anything else until the final secret has been revealed." -Sally Hepworth, bestselling author of THE SECRETS OF MIDWIVES
