Originally published in 2016 by She Writes Press in the United States under the title Veronica's Grave : a Daughter's Memoir.

"When young Barbara Bracht's mother suddenly vanishes from her life, no one tells her that her mother has died while giving birth to her younger brother, Eddie. Her father is intent upon erasing any memory of his dead wife, but Barbara continues to believe that her mother is missing until a cousin tells her the truth. As the years of deception unravel, the tough and sassy Barbara struggles to pursue her own dreams and make peace with a crushing family secret. A captivating story that asks us to consider what parents owe their children, and how far a child will go to keep the memory of her mother alive. Barbara Bracht Donsky lives in New York, where she writes a weekly blog, Desperately Seeking Paris. Visit her BarbaraDonsky.com"--Provided by publisher.
