Their mother, Audrey, doesn&#8217;t know why, but her biggest hope is that they will make amends and reunite. It would be even better if her two teenage granddaughters could meet and they could be a proper family. As Audrey does her best to bring peace to her family, a shocking secret is revealed that could bring them together or tear them apart forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Only I Could Tell You is a powerful story about love, loyalty, and forgiveness. This was definitely a tear-jerker. It could be very heavy, so I wouldn&#8217;t classify it as an easy weekend read. Split into seven parts, this story traveled back and forth in time to show how a family could become so broken. While it&#8217;s not a thriller, the plot reveals were truly surprises and kept me turning the pages. I could relate to every character and appreciated how well developed they were. As I read more, characters&#8217; motivations became more clear and understandable. Sympathizing with all, made the story complex and intriguing. This was a very thought-provoking story that will touch all readers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5\/5 stars Jess and Lily are sisters who haven&#8217;t spoken in three decades.
