Avery Hutchinson sees no option but to go on the run with her two-year-old daughter, Addy, to escape her abusive husband, Eddie, and his powerful family.
After she is injured during the dangerous escape, she is found by handsome journalist Nathaniel Parker, who takes her and her daughter in, protecting them with the help of Dr. Callie Daniels.
Knowing Eddie will stop at nothing to get to her, Avery is desperate to figure out a way to protect her daughter. Despite her reservations, Avery must confide in Nathaniel about her husband and his family. Can she trust him to keep her and Addy safe? As they dig deeper into the Hutchinson family's past, can they find a way to expose the secrets they uncover before Eddie tracks them down?
Unearthing Secrets by Manda Lynn is a story about Avery Hutchinson escaping her abusive husband, Eddie, after he turns on their daughter, Addy. As Avery escapes and finds an ally and reporter to hear her story, family secrets start to unravel that could bring the Hutchinson's down.
I really enjoyed the mix of suspense, though I felt some of the big reveal was hinted at a little too early. I also liked when the perspective shifted to Eddie’s family—it added depth, but I wish it had happened sooner.
Overall, an emotional and fast-paced read that kept me hooked.
