What You Don't Know

2019

Nora Warren is a lawyer's wife, the mother of two little girls, and a murderer.
At least she feels like one.
Nora is plagued by secrets surrounding the death of her older brother decades ago, and, to hide them, she lives as though he never existed.
Now in her thirties, she suspects that her husband is having an affair with her friend, the wife of a candidate for the US Senate. When her friend's body is found--an apparent suicide--Nora faces ghosts of her past as well as choices that dredge up her grim nature, the side of herself that no one ever sees, the side that protects the life she's sought and created.
