Previously published as Memories & Secrets by Diane Winger.Revealing a secret may be liberating, yet some secrets can never be disclosed.A year after her husband died, Deborah is still deeply torn over her role in his death, but she can't confide in anyone without breaking a solemn promise. Her granddaughter, Ashley, is no longer the cheerful, confident tomboy Deborah remembers. Ashley has secrets of her own. The death of a student at her high school has cut her to the core for reasons she has kept hidden. Neither of these two family members expected their summer visit to be transformative, but life is sometimes full of surprises. In this novel filled with sadness and laughter, with fear and courage, two people turn to love to lift them beyond their painful memories and secrets.

The Secrets that Shape Us links generations, with an appeal to young adult as well as older readers. It touches on themes of self-esteem, bullying, sexual orientation, and family relationships as well as coming of age contrasted with end of life decisions. The story is set in a fictional town in western Colorado.
