The Baby Nobody Knew About

For twenty-five years, Emma Callahan has believed she knows the truth about her family.

Her mother, Claire, died when Emma was only three years old. Her father raised her alone, refusing to speak much about the woman Emma barely remembers. It was painful, but it was the only story Emma had ever known.

Until her father's death.

While sorting through his belongings, Emma discovers an old photograph of Claire holding a little girl Emma has never seen before. On the back are four words that change everything:

My girls. 1999.

Emma soon discovers the impossible.

Her mother didn't die when she was three.

She had another daughter.

And for more than twenty years, Claire had been living an entirely separate life.

Emma tracks down the girl in the photograph-Lily, now twenty-two-and discovers a sister who grew up with everything Emma was denied: their mother's love, family vacations, birthday traditions, bedtime stories, and memories Emma never got to make.

But Claire is already dead.

Now Emma is left with more questions than answers. Why did her mother abandon her? Why did she start another family? Why did Emma's father let her believe Claire was dead? And why did Claire secretly keep photographs, letters, and gifts meant for the daughter she left behind?

As Emma and Lily slowly navigate the impossible bond between two sisters who were raised worlds apart, they uncover decades of hidden letters, buried family secrets, and painful choices that neither girl was responsible for.

The truth will force them to question everything they believed about their parents-and whether love can survive the lies that were meant to protect them.

Because sometimes the hardest part of finding your family..
