Sometimes the path to a happy future leads through a troubled past.
Marybeth Rogers has it all—a great husband, two grown sons, and a teaching job she loves.
She’s about to leave it all behind.
When Marybeth tells her husband she needs a short sabbatical from their marriage, he doesn’t understand. Why won’t she tell him where she’s going? But Marybeth can’t tell him—not yet. She’s on a journey to unbury a secret from her past, and is willing to risk all of her current happiness to do it.
Years ago, Marybeth had a different name and a different identity. She also had a daughter fathered by the scion of a major crime family. Young and scared and out of options, she gave up the baby for adoption and went into hiding. But now that it’s finally safe to search for her daughter, will it be too late?
We Thought We Knew You is an emotionally rich story about family, the burden of the past, and the lengths we’ll go to protect those we love the most.
