Don't Say a Word

by Barbara Freethy

First published 2005

Julia DeMarco has her hands full planning her elaborate San Francisco wedding when she discovers a photograph that stops her cold. The image shows a foreign orphanage and a little girl who looks exactly like her. The resemblance is too striking to ignore, and Julia realizes she knows nothing about her true origins. She teams up with Alex Manning, a photographer whose charm matches his talent behind the camera. Together they dig into Julia's past, following clues that lead them far from the comfortable life she has always known. Each revelation brings new questions about who she really is and where she came from. The search becomes more dangerous as they get closer to the truth. Julia must decide how much she is willing to risk to learn about her identity, even if the answers threaten to destroy the future she has carefully planned.
