ReviewsWith compassion and tenderness, Hepworth explores - and voice-facile reader Barrie Kreinik brings to life - what we lose when memory erodes, and what cannot be lost even when it is gone. NJ.com on The Mother's Promise "A page-turner. All the pieces masterfully come together at the end to create a beautiful novel of courage and love in the face of sorrow." - Booklist (s tarred review) on The Mother's Promise Devastatingly beautiful." - People magazine on The Things We Keep "Hepworth dazzles in this smart and engaging tale... This intelligent, well-plotted debut will draw readers in from the very first word and keep them engaged until the end." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Secrets of Midwives

Synopsis"Perfect for lovers of Desperate Housewives and Big Little Lies, with a dash of Single White Female, this novel will stick with readers for a long time." -- Library Journal The Family Next Door is an audiobook about desperate mothers, secrets among neighbors, and things women keep hidden in a suburban drama from the author of The Mother's Promise. Small, perfect towns often hold the deepest secrets. From the outside, Essie's life looks idyllic: a loving husband, a beautiful house in a good neighborhood, and a nearby mother who dotes on her grandchildren. But few of Essie's friends know her secret shame: that in a moment of maternal despair, she once walked away from her newborn, asleep in her carriage in a park. Disaster was avoided and Essie got better, but she still fears what lurks inside her, even as her daughter gets older and she has a second baby. When a new woman named Isabelle moves in next door to Essie, she is an immediate object of curiosity in the neighborhood. Why single, when everyone else is married with children? Why renting, when everyone else owns? What mysterious job does she have? And why is she so fascinated with Essie? As the two women grow closer and Essie's friends voice their disapproval, it starts to become clear that Isabelle's choice of neighborhood was no accident. And that her presence threatens to bring shocking secrets to light. The Family Next Door is Sally Hepworth at her very best: at once a deeply moving portrait of family drama and a compelling suburban mystery that will keep listeners hooked until the very last word.
