The Secrets She Keeps
By Deb CalettiPublisher Description
From bestselling author Deb Caletti comes a beautiful and profound novel of three women coming to terms with love and marriage—sure to move and delight fans of Kristin Hannah, Liane Moriarty, and Anna Quindlen.
“You don’t grow up on a divorce ranch and not learn to take a vow seriously.”
When Callie McBride finds a woman’s phone number written on a scrap of paper her husband has thrown away, she thinks that her marriage is over. Callie flees to Nevada and her Aunt Nash’s Tamarosa Ranch, where she’s shocked to see that the place of so many happy childhood memories is in disrepair. Worse, Aunt Nash is acting bizarrely—hoarding stacks of old photographs, burying a book in the yard, and railing against Kit Covey, a handsome government park ranger who piques Callie’s interest.
But Aunt Nash may prove to be saner than she seems once Callie pulls back the curtain on Tamarosa’s heyday—the 1940s and ’50s, when high-society and Hollywood women ventured to the ranch for quickie divorces and found a unique sisterhood—and uncovers a secret promise Nash made to her true love. Callie will come to see is that no life is ever ordinary. No story of love is, either.

“This book is told in 2 timelines- Callie present day and her aunt Nash in the 50's. In present day, Callie finds a womans business card in her husband's pocket. He lies about it, she assumes hes cheating, and her mom tells her her aunt needs help on her ranch. So Callie (and unbeknownst to her, her sister) head to the ranch to help her elderly aunt. The ranch used to be a divorce ranch where prominent women went to get quicky divorces. We get Nash's perspective during that time and her experience with the women. That whole premise doesn't make sense to me and when you're first introduced to that timeline its a ton thrown at you at once (names and events, but not really details that would aid in understanding) so I immediately was put off on that timeline. Unfortunately, it never really got better enough to recover my interest. I really just slogged through this to get it done. Bleh.”
