Helpful Score: 4

If you're looking for a fluffy, quick read, this isn't it. House of Secrets digs into the effects of mental illness on the entire family. The story is emotionally gripping, as the girls discover which memories they've carried in secret for years are true, which contain a grain of truth, and which are completely false. In the midst of sorting through the family secrets, Bailee resists building a relationship with her boss, while yearning to have a confidant at the same time. The story also briefly touches on the church's and Christians' reactions to those with mental illness. Despite the difficult subject, I'm glad I read this book.

With thanks to Bethany House Publishers for my review copy.
