Synopsis - Secrets
'Secrets' is the 4th book in the 'Journeys of the Fortune Seekers' Historical fiction series by Annie Browne.
In the late 1800s, Sarah discovers her husband's selfish behaviours wreak havoc on her growing family's circumstances. Living in England is no longer possible, as the only way forward is making a new start. Emigrating to New Zealand is the best option, but will the addictive habits of former generations continue? Is it possible to wipe the slate clean?
Her growing sons, conforming to her husband, Bill's selfish behaviour, begin behaving poorly. Humiliation and fear fill Sarah's days and nights.
Can Sarah influence the changes necessary to break the cycle of excesses?
What is ahead for this post-World War One 20th-century family? In the twentieth century, the hiding of family secrets was no longer possible. The future for Sarah's children is bringing division and heartbreak.
Can Emily, one of Sarah's son's fiancé, understand the past of the man she is considering marrying?
Tom discovers generations of hidden newspaper clippings, bringing answers. The secrets are exposed. Do the sins of the fathers pass through the following generations?
What if Tom and Emily hid the family's seedy past? Is it their place to reveal the secrets to their children?
The characters' unique personalities come to life, exposing the reader to many post-war best-kept secrets concerning traits inherited in many families' histories. Possibly, even yours.
