When two grown daughters discover their mother's diary in her attic, they are stunned to learn her true love was not their father. But is all as it seems? That's the mystery they must unravel as their mother lies near death in a nursing home.
Only the pages of her diary can provide the clues. In a richly detailed journey into the past, we see the young Elizabeth Marshall lose her heart to one man while remaining devoted to another.
The Diary is a love story. It's also the story of a family and the question that all adult children must ask themselves at some point: how well do you really know your parents? The answer just might surprise you.

Eileen Goudge is the New York Times bestselling author whose novels include Once in a Blue Moon, Domestic Affairs, Woman in Red, One Last Dance, Garden of Lies, and Thorns of Truth. There are more than five million copies of her books in print worldwide. She lives with her husband, entertainment reporter Sandy Kenyon, in New York City.
In this charming novel, a pair of sisters must confront a reality that all offspring find distasteful: Their parents had interesting, if hidden, lives before their children were born. Discovering their mother, Elizabeth's, diary shortly before her death, Sarah and Emily find that her life wasn't what they'd believed; perhaps even their late father wasn't who they think he was. Susan Ericksen's narration deepens the listeners' bonds to the characters and captures the rainbow of emotions unfurled as the sisters decipher the mystery of their parents' romance. Along the way, they discover truths about themselves as well, through dialogue warmly depicted by Ericksen. Her strong reading makes this novel one listeners will want to speed through, while hoping it never ends. J.J.B. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
