The Language of Secrets

(Warning: May Contain Spoilers)

Once in a while a book slaps you in the face and makes you sit up straight and pay attention. In her debut novel, The Language of Secrets, Dianne Dixon weaves a complex story of Justin Fisher, a highly successful hotel manager. After ten years, Justin moves from London, with his new wife and infant son in tow, back to the family he'd been estranged from since he left the USA over a decade ago.

Through Justin, we learn of a painful past that is dug up, not when he gets married and has a child, but when he accepts a new position back near his childhood home in Sierra Madre, California. Upon his wives urging, Justin intends to rebuild the bridge he destroyed when he left all those years ago. Justin walks up to the door at 822 Lima Street, where his past begins to unravel.
