The Other Auntie

The worst part about getting clean is remembering why you started using in the first place.

Grace Claiborne has spent years being the auntie who struggled, fell apart, and got judged for it. When she finally hits rock bottom, her sister Naomi gives her a choice: rehab or lose her daughter, Joy.

Grace chooses rehab.

 But as her body detoxes, the past she buried beneath addiction begins clawing its way back to the surface—especially the night her best friend Donna died.  The more Grace remembers, the more she realizes Naomi lied about what happened.

To everyone else, Naomi is the one who has it all together. She always has an answer, an opinion, and a way of keeping people from asking too many questions. From the outside, she is everything Grace is not: steady, respected, untouchable.

But rehab was never about saving Grace.

It was about what Naomi needed her to forget.

Some families have secrets. Others have Naomi.

 The Other Auntie belongs on your TBR if you love:

•  Complicated women who don’t tell the whole truth 
•  Family secrets that refuse to stay buried 
•  Competing versions of the same past 
•  Southern settings and realistic family dynamics 
•  Psychological suspense that makes you question whom to believe
