Mother was a Stranger - Julie Leek

A surprise letter from an aunt she has never met motivates Julie to search for Audrey, the mother she last spoke to 30 years ago, only to discover that Audrey took her own life 17 years earlier. Matters are made more difficult as Julie finds herself drawn into a bitter legal dispute between her mother's surviving siblings over their deceased sister Dorothy's estate. Overwhelmed with feelings of sadness, anger, and guilt, and realizing for the first time how little she really knows about her mother, Julie begins an obsessive search for answers to the many questions she would now ask her if she were still alive. Will the satisfaction of finally uncovering the truth be worth the mental and emotional price she has to pay?
