"Great read! My heart broke for both woman. Shows how one innocent lie can ruin every part of your life. Fast read." — LB, Oakdale, PA "I loved this book. I had to read a book for a group project in my English class and I chose this. It was so good I had trouble putting it down. I can't wait to go buy another book of yours. " — MT, St.Louis, MO "Another wonderful book. I didn't want to put it down. I had pre-ordered this book back in December, as a gift to myself and it was certainly worth the wait. I've been a fan for many years and hope you'll continue to write more great books. Thanks again for every book!" — RY, Phoenix, AZ "Another winner! The twists and turns make it hard to put this book down. You can put yourself in the position of the mother. It shows how strong a mother's love is and what lengths she'll go to to protect her children. Hope there is a sequel. I'll be waiting. " — CR, Huntington Bay, NY "Oh my goodness--one that you just didn't want to put down! The web that we weave came to mind more than once when one lie lead to another in the story line. I would highly recommend reading it and definitely too to have large windows of time available because you won't want to stop reading. I'm hoping for possible a second book to follow-up where this one left off!" — KH, Muskego, WI "Barbara, you have done it again. You never let us down. This book, THE SECRET BETWEEN US, will touch the heart of mothers and daughters everywhere. What would we NOT do for our children? It is fantastic from page one until the ending. I read it quickly to see how it ended. I am on my second read which will not be my last. What a touching story..." — BB, Hurricane, WV "I just finished your latest book "The Secret Between Us" just a few moments ago. Wow! That was an incredible story of love, misperceptions, deception, loyalty and the lengths families will go to keep pain and disappointment from their family. It was told on such a human level of reality and what I am sure has happened in other families in real life. I enjoyed it immensely. Thank you so much for the opportunity to read a wonderful and heartfelt story." — DH, Virginia Beach, VA "Your book The Secret Between Us was great. I'm both fortunate and thrilled to be Bzzing it as a Bzz Agent for BzzAgent.com.  Luv Ya, Barbie " — BG, Haverhill, MA "I was lucky enough to be given an advanced copy of "The Secret Between Us" and I'm so glad I read it before the word gets out about it! I have a feeling that once the word gets out, it be sold out at all the local stores and the wait list at the library will be a mile long. I took the book with me where ever I went hoping to be able to sneak in as much reading of it as I could! Thanks, Barbara for yet another winner!" — MC, Glastonbury, CT "The Secret Between Us by Barbara Delinsky is truthfully painful. A good novel but with so much guilt that you really start to feel like it's you in the story. It's a can't put down book til the end so that you can see if things come out for better or worse. Deborah Monroe is mom, daughter, sister, ex-wife, and prominent town doctor to a quiet little town in New England. Highly respected and loved, independent, honest to a fault has her life upturned by one little incident. Oh, is it little or bigger than she thinks. Grace Monroe is a loving, athletic, brilliant, devoted teen who knows right from wrong but the one little unfortunate incident throws her into such an emotional turmoil that you sit and wonder how your own child would react to the same thing happening to her. The entire town knows this teen as truthfully honest and reliable almost to perfection which sets Grace up for emotional pain that is unimaginable. The story brings into question what lengths we would go to as a parent in order to protect our children. It also questions our ability to handle one crisis following another as an adult especially in a small town where everyone knows everything about everyone. Can secrets truly be hidden in such a small community. Will one little deception tear a family apart not only from themselves but from all prying eyes. Can one selfish person willing cause so much emotional pain and break the trust that has been here for generations. So many questions with too few answers. The author is brilliant with the actual storyline. With living in Massachusetts myself I can actually visualize all the areas that the author takes us to. Even though this is fiction it could also be someone's real life story. It's something we say can't possibly happen to us but in all reality, "It only takes one time", and it could very well come to pass. " — TS, Hopedale, MA "Only reading 2 chapters so far its hard to give a great review -- however it certainly shows PROMISE!!! And I would say its another one of her page turners! SO go for it if you like a fun "ladies" book!!" — SW, LaCeiba, Honduras "Oh my God, What a great start to a story. I hate that your excerpt stops at Chapter 2 though. I cannot wait till I can buy it. It's riveting and a "can't put down". My only wonder though is there a man in Deborah's future or her sister's for that matter. Great new book, as always Barbara, you made a great storyline. Thank you. Nadine" — NH, Laconia, NH "This book might be a good seller, for you can not wait to read the whole thing.  Keep up the good work on your writing." — SC, dubuque, IA "I absolutely can't wait until THE SECRET BETWEEN US comes out. It seems like a real doozy for the mother/daughter relationship--an interesting look into a disaster that will be propelling them forward to a much needed closer relationship with each other. Barbara you are my all-time favorite writer, besides one other. I love how prolific and simply detailed you are. Your characters and conversations are so real. I love the way that you allow people to think for themselves when reading your books, allowing the reader to take in more of their own creative juices into your work. That definitely takes talent. This 1st chapter looks like I will be on the edge of my seat until the very end. I love that, too!!! You go girl!!!!! Lisa Dorenkamp" — LD, Wildwood, MO
