A summer house in the Hamptons doesn’t always buy happiness, as one woman is about to find out…
For fifteen glorious years, Gina Dewar has been married to her college sweetheart Bobby. Years in which she has lived in the small company town of Alma, New York, lovingly raised their son Calan, been secretary of the Alma Social Club, and tried not to think too often of the family she said goodbye to when she became a Dewar.
But then Bobby is publicly accused of having an affair, and Gina’s life changes overnight, overwhelmed with scandal, speculation and the agony of uncertainty.
Gina’s sister-in-law Alice is her polar opposite, she has never appreciated the traditional values of Alma, or tried to fit in with its quaint neighborliness. But in these devastating circumstances, could she be the one person who can help Gina piece her life back together?
After Gina makes the decision to trust Bobby, who has claimed his innocence all along, she hopes her family can move forward. But then she hears the rumor that his supposed mistress is pregnant and she is shaken to the core. With Alice’s unexpected support, Gina must face up to the secrets within her marriage, and do whatever she can to protect the people she loves…
A moving, emotionally gripping novel about family secrets and the unbreakable strength of female friendship. A stunning new read for fans of Elin Hilderbrand, Dorothea Benton Frank and Nancy Thayer.
First, I want to thank Cecilia Lyra, Bookouture, and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
By looking at Cecilia Lyra’s newest cover The Faithfuls you would think it was a sweet and easy read. Oh how I learned not to judge a book by its cover. Cecilia wrote a very powerful and intense book that is current with today's world.
Ceclila’s main theme in this book comes from the #MeToo movement. This is one movement I feel passionate about and have read many books around it. In this book you see how one incident can have an impact on so many lives around it.
Besides the #MeToo movement bullying is also a hot topic as Calan (the son) has been bullied in school.
The Faithfuls is packed with so many life messages. One that stuck with me the most is always go with your first gut instinct.
Cecilia started out this story one way and I was totally shocked and dumbfounded to see the turn of events at the end.
