The Hiding Place

Some houses have their secrets. But so do some people . . . From Jenny Quintana, the bestselling author of The Missing Girl and Our Dark Secret, comes The Hiding Place: a story about identity, love, long-buried secrets and lies. Marina is adopted. She’s always known this – but the circumstances of her birth remain a mystery.

What if someone connected to it knows what really happened that day? Someone who doesn’t want the truth to come to light?
