"RIVETING." – SheKnows.com"ABSORBING."—Booklist"GRIPPING." – Library JournalWho can you trust if not the ones you love? Sylvie and Maggie are two women living on opposite coasts with children about to leave the nest for school. Both are in their forties with husbands who travel more than either would like. The looming emptiness of their respective homes has left them feeling anxious and lonely, needing their husbands to be home now more than ever. It isn't until Eve, Sylvie's daughter, happens to befriend Maggie's daughter that the similarities between these two women becomes shockingly real. A huge secret has remained well hidden for years until now, and their lives will be blown apart as dark truths from the past come to the surface. Can these two women learn to forgive, for the sake of their children? For themselves? In Family Pictures, Jane Green, the beloved author of such bestsellers as Jemima J and The Beach House, has written an emotional, page turning story about what it means to be a mother and a wife, about trust and family and the enduring strength of women when put to the test.

The first part of this book was frustrating to me. I thought it was so obvious where it was going. But it turned out that the whole "man with two families" thing wasn't really THE story. It was really about two women trying to keep their families together while also finding themselves in the wake of finding out about their husband's betrayal. I'd love to someday read a sequel about the daughters, Eve and Grace.
