Description
The Midwife's Secret by Emily Gunnis In 1969, a tragedy struck the Hilton family when their young daughter Alice disappeared on New Year's Eve. Suspicion fell on Bobby James, a young farmhand who was the last person to see Alice before she vanished. Despite his protests of innocence, Bobby was sent away, and Alice was never found. Years later, architect Willow James discovers a long-buried secret about the land where Yew Tree Manor once stood. As she digs deeper into the past, she uncovers a web of injustice that led to Alice's disappearance. When another child goes missing, Willow knows she must right a terrible wrong to prevent history from repeating itself. A gripping and heart-wrenching story of love, loyalty, and family secrets, The Midwife's Secret is a compelling and twisty novel that stays with you long after you finish reading.
