When Dr. Deborah Monroe's teenage daughter Grace hits her high school history teacher while driving, Deborah allows the police to think she was at the wheel. Dealing with the aftermath of the accident is just one more unwelcome burden for Deborah, already stressed by work and family problems. Meanwhile, Grace is devastated by the pressure of the lie and the guilt she feels, particularly after her teacher dies. Orlagh Cassidy makes a serviceable if not particularly distinctive attempt to distinguish between character voices, but her overall performance is warm and compassionate. Together, the smoothly abridged text and the narration create an emotionally affecting and realistic portrait of a family in crisis. Simultaneous release with the Doubleday hardcover (Reviews, Oct. 15, 2007). (Feb.)

The Secret Between Us
3.5 stars
A poignant story that delves into an interesting dilemma. As a parent, the need to protect one's offspring is strong, but what happens when moral ethics are at odds with this biological need? Not My Daughter was an interesting look at how one family manages this predicament. The writing was strong and the story encapsulated the emotional impact. And although I didn't really like the main character Debra, I understood what made her tick and empathized with her difficult decision. The ending was probably the weakest aspect of the story for me in that it felt forced and unrealistic. However, it is a thought-provoking read if you're in the mood for women's fiction.
