Carrying Secrets

Desiree Devlin's childhood ends with an unplanned pregnancy and a secret delivery in her bathtub. She doesn't have much trouble keeping her secret tucked beneath her heart and her baggie sweatshirts for nine long months because she lives a lonely, isolated life. Homeschooled with no friends or siblings at home and parents who are busy working, ironically, at her dad's obstetrics clinic, Desiree spends her days alone while the boy who is the father of her baby is enjoying his senior year of high school, blissfully unaware of the storm that's about to engulf them both.

When Desiree's baby disappears, her secret becomes a public investigation, and Desiree is the primary suspect. Can Desiree find her baby and clear her name before it's too late, or will she spend the rest of her life in prison for murdering the child she tried so hard to protect? As Desiree's world closes in, she faces her greatest dilemma. Is the pain of carrying secrets easier to bear than the vulnerability of delivering the truth?
