Thank You for Finding The Truth About Cinnamon!

The lives and mysteries of an Irish immigrant family are bound to American history as the 20th century's complexities unfold. The past reaches out to claim Megan Cole in 1988 when her grandmother--Margaret Elizabeth McClinty, a.k.a. Cinnamon--shares with her the intimate details of her ancestry.

Traveling from one time setting to another through her grandmother's dictation, letters, and journals, Megan discovers a collection of people not soon forgotten, not the least of which are those in the Italian immigrant family into which Cinnamon marries. Vibrant and three-dimensional, the characters love, laugh, and hurt one another, while misunderstandings and secrets lead them into tragedy. Yet there is no shortage of joy, despite their troubles, as the years progress, until the accumulation of secrets finally explodes, with horrific consequences for the family.

In the end, when The Truth About Cinnamon is fully revealed, Megan realizes that nothing about her own life will ever be the same again--and that the truth is sometimes best left alone.
