The Secret Life of CeeCee WilkesThe Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes

When a corpse is found in North Carolina--believed to be dead nearly 30 years--people speculate whether it's the long-missing wife of a former governor. One woman, Eve Elliot, knows the answer. After all, she held the pregnant woman's hand as she struggled through childbirth so many years ago. And then she took the baby. Eve was CeeCee Wilkes back then, a sixteen-year-old orphan who was drawn into a kidnapping scheme that went terribly wrong. To avoid discovery, she changed her name and her life, marrying a loving man who never asked questions about her little daughter. And after their own child came along, Eve tried to make up for her past by devoting her time to helping troubled children. Now she's terrified of what might happen if her family learns the truth. Will Eve risk everything she cherishes to ease her tormented heart--or let someone else pay for her sins?
