My Brother's Keeper

Secrets. Every family has them. Meredith Kendall learns one of her family's secrets when she's eight years old. And years later, when she begins helping her brother in his medical practice in Eureka, California, she's caught up in other families' secrets too. Her work brings many needy people into her life--an abused teenager, a scheming widow, an isolated expectant mother, and a young girl with a learning disability. Before long, Meredith is caught up in a web of secrets. Even the shy lumberman Seth Landry is keeping one of his own. But knowing secrets--and keeping them--comes at a cost. Especially when some people will go to any lengths to keep them hidden. Set against the backdrop of Northern California's scenic redwoods and its early logging industry, My Brother's Keeper weaves rich historical authenticity into a tale of family ties, friendship, and faith. A Reading Group discussion guide is included.
