<h2>What if you discovered that everything you knew about yourself was a lie?</h2><br />When pregnant Jaya loses her mother, then her baby son Arun in a tragic cot death, her world crashes down. Overcome by grief and guilt, she begins to search for answers &\#x2013; to the enigma of her lonely, distant mother, and her mysterious past in India. <br /><br />Looking through her mother&\#x2019;s belongings, she finds two diaries and old photographs, carrying the smoky aroma of fire. A young boy smiles out at Jaya from every photograph &\#x2013; and in one, a family stand proudly in front of a sprawling mansion. Who is this child? And why did her mother treasure this memento of a regal family lost to the past? <br /><br />As Jaya starts to read the diaries, their secrets lead her back to India, to the ruin of a once grand house on a hill. There, Kali, a mad old lady, will unlock the story of a devastating lie and a fire that tore a family apart. <br /><br />Nothing though will prepare Jaya for the house&\#x2019;s final revelation, which will change everything Jaya knew about herself. <br /><br /><b>If you enjoy Dinah Jefferies, Lucinda Riley and Santa Montefiore, you will love this unforgettable journey through the lush landscape of India to the heart of what it means to be a mother and daughter.</b><br /><br /><h2><b>What everyone is saying about <i>A Mother&\#x2019;s Secret</i>:</b></h2><br />&\#x2018;<b>5 out of 5 stars</b>&\#x2026;I read it in one shot because I couldn&\#x2019;t bear to stop&\#x2026;what I can promise you is that it is a great read&\#x2026;<b>A book that was an absolute pleasure to read</b>.&\#x2019; <i>Any Excuse to Read</i><br /><br />&\#x2018;<b>I loved this book</b>, the descriptions of India, the mansion, the food and the people are swoon worthy.
