T minus 2 weeks!!
I get killer butterflies just thinking about it.
In celebration and anticipation, I thought releasing a bit of a teaser from the prologue would be fun. And if you're interested in learning more about the book, there's a link to my website in my profile. xo

ABOUT:
For readers of Shilpi Somaya Gowda’s "Secret Daughter" and Nancy Richler’s "The Imposter Bride", a breathtaking novel from Anita Kushwaha about the ties that bind mothers and daughters together and the secrets that tear them apart
Veena, Mala and Nandini are three very different women with something in common. Out of love, each bears a secret that will haunt her life—and that of her daughter—when the risk of telling the truth is too great. But secrets have consequences. Particularly to Asha, the young woman on the cusp of adulthood who links them together.
On the day after her eighteenth birthday, Asha is devastated to learn that she was adopted as a baby. What’s more, her birth mother died of a mysterious illness shortly before then, leaving Asha with only a letter.
Nandini, Asha’s adoptive mother, has always feared the truth would come between them.
Veena, a recent widow, worries about her daughter Mala’s future. The shock of her husband’s sudden death leaves her shaken and convinces her that the only way to keep her daughter safe is to secure her future.
Mala struggles to balance her dreams and ambition with her mother’s expectations. She must bear a secret, the burden of which threatens her very life.
Three mothers, bound by love, deceit and a young woman who connects them all. "Secret Lives of Mothers & Daughters" is an intergenerational novel about family, duty and the choices we make in the name of love.

First #SLOMAD shelfie! This arrived out of the blue today as I was trying to choose among voice actors for the audiobook. After two years of work and waiting, this feels SURREAL. Three weeks to go and the book hits the shelves in Canada, and ebook in the US. Feeling very grateful to @staceydonaghy and @harpercollinsca for making this dream come true. 💜🙏🎉 @2020debuts #2020debuts #SecretLivesofMothersandDaughters #shelfie #canlit #diversecanlit #wfwa #canadianauthor #booknerd #author #authorslife #bookishcanadians #bookstoread #canadianbookblogger #bookbloggers #womensfiction #ownvoices #writerslife #writingcommunity #bookclub #librarylove #harperavenue #harpercollins #harpercollinsca #harper360
