Synopsis

“I have counted the days until you would return to my waiting arms, my insistent kisses. But now I know you never will...”On a rainy hike by Loch Lomond, Eve Waldman stumbles upon a perfectly preserved journal in a hidden cave. The time-worn lettering details the illicit affair of two Jewish lovers that sent a shiver of shame through a Scottish family — and echoes down the bloodlines. Born of Highland aristocracy, Mac Monteith prefers to spend his days behind the bar of the family pub, rather than live the life his parents desired for him. Then Eve walks through the door, stirring more than Mac’s long-dormant heart.When Eve traces the cave documents to the Monteith line, scandals and secrets spill out from all sides. Eve remains committed to the truth, but when being truthful means hurting the man she loves, she is forced to make a bigger choice: righting the wrongs of the past, or building the future she’s yearned for.A contemporary romance with hints of magical realism, Cave of Secrets is about family heritage, intergenerational trauma, and finding the courage to be honest with ourselves — and those who love us.
“A masterful blend of suspense, romance, and self-discovery, CAVE OF SECRETS is the tale of an intrepid young archivist’s pursuit of history, unveiling a secret love affair and a powerful family’s hidden Jewish roots. Gorgeous prose will bring you to the edge of your seat...” Lisa Williamson Rosenberg, author of Embers on the Wind"Cave of Secrets is an engaging, thought-provoking read, illustrating the power of courage to unveil past secrets, make tough choices and live an authentic life against all odds." Annie Cathryn, author of The Friendship Breakup

Wow, this book!! I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started it, I just knew it had a romance component but that the romance wasn’t the only focus. I think different people will get different things out of this book. For me, it was the story of how family trauma can be passed down from one generatio......more
