About the Book
Caught up in an illicit affair, Arthur and Janet are the silent witnesses to a horrible crime. Unwilling to come forward and ruin their marriages, they keep quiet--an act of selfishness that will haunt them for the rest of their lives. Going their separate ways, unable to face each other after what they've done, Arthur and Janet vow to keep this secret.Book Synopsis
Answering a call that summons her to a stranger's deathbed, a reluctant Sophie Shepard is too late to hear what he was so anxious to tell her. What was so important that a dying man would think of her in his final moments? With the help of Dr. Drew McCarren, Sophie begins to dig into her past, setting off a chain of events that chills the quiet town of Clearfield, Virginia to its roots.
With part of her wanting nothing more than to put Clearfield behind her and run back home, Sophie knows she won't rest until she discovers the truth. But growing closer to the residents also means uncovering their dark secrets: about the woman who gave her up for adoption, the mysterious part these strangers played, and the life she never knew she nearly had.
Something About Sophie is an unforgettable story about the power of love...and the things people will do, both right and wrong, to protect it.
