All her life, Hannah Sterling longed for a close relationship with her estranged mother. Following Lieselotte's death, Hannah determines to unlock the secrets of her mother's mysterious past and is shocked to discover a grandfather living in Germany. Thirty years earlier, Lieselotte's father is quickly ascending the ranks of the Nazi party, and a proper marriage for his daughter could help advance his career.

Lieselotte is in love - but her beloved Lukas is far from an ideal match, as he secretly works against the Reich. Yet Lieselotte never imagined how far her father would go to ensure her cooperation. Both Hannah's and Lieselotte's stories unfold as Hannah travels to Germany to meet her grandfather, who is hiding wartime secrets of his own.

Longing for connection yet shaken by all she uncovers, Hannah must decide if she can atone for her family's tragic past and how their legacy will shape her future.

What happened the last 28 minutes???

Really loved this audiobook, that is, until the very last chapter when the author got super preachy, and started talking about the power of God and forgiveness. WHY? It certainly did not add anything to the story. Up to the end, I was so into listening, and saw this story as a unique perspective on World War I. As for the telling of it, both performers did a phenomenal job of bringing their characters to life. Would probably recommend, but would also forewarn listeners about the author suddenly throwing in the religious aspect.

Couldn't put it down

My duties at work and home were "placed on the back burner" while I finished this story. I would recommend it highly.

Treasured

This will be one of my treasured books I've ever listened too....was hoping to listen to another one of her books but I guess it's not out on audible yet...anxious awaiting!!!

Amazing WWII Historical Fiction! Must Read

What was one of the most memorable moments of Secrets She Kept?

The whole telling of being in the concentration camps left me in awe and shock. I was teary eyed more than a few times. I also loved the angle of this book. Historical fiction, mainly WWII, is a favorite genre of mine. I have never read/listened to a book that focused on a daughter of a high ranking Nazi member. It was a different point of view that I was definitely entrenched by.

What does Morgan Hallett and Suzy Jackson bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

I loved Lieselotta's voice. The narration was perfect.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Stolen Lives

Any additional comments?

I do agree that it was very odd at the end how religious the book became, definitely should cut that out.

Compelling story.

I loved the story line and especially loved how they the author incorporated the Corrie Ten Boone story some what.
