Publisher's noteGabriella always loved the picture of her mother kneeling in front of a bed of roses, smiling, beautiful and impossibly happy. But then she learns that her late mother hated gardening; that she had never wanted the house in the Hollywood hills, the successful movie producer husband, and possibly, her only daughter. When Gabriella discovers a journal--a book that begins as a new mother's letters to her baby girl, but becomes a secret diary--the final entry leaves one question unanswered: the night her mother died, was she returning to Colombia to end an affair, or was she abandoning her family for good? Learning perplexing truths about her late mother including her unhappiness in her marriage, her dislike of the family home, and her unwillingness to be a parent, Gabriella discovers a secret diary and considers the possibility that her mother was preparing to leave. Original. A first novel.
