Book Description:
Damiana is Safe-Keeper in the small village of Tambleham. Neighbors and strangers alike come one by one, in secret, to tell her things, knowing that Damiana will keep them to herself. One night, a mysterious visitor arrives with an unusual secret— a newborn baby. Damiana names him Reed and raises him side by side with her baby daughter, Fiona. As the years pass and the two children come of age, they must come to terms with who they are—and who they may be. The Safe-Keeper’s Secret is the first of a satisfying, beguiling trilogy.

In Fiona's world, people called Safe Keepers hear the secrets of others and do not repeat them to another living soul. Fiona longs to become a Safe Keeper like her mother, but as she grows up, she learns the consequences of keeping some secrets.

Shinn tells this lovely story of Fiona, her adopted brother Reed and their village with a slow, stately pace. There is very little action but much to think about by the book's end.
