Is it the things we don't say that haunt us the most?

 Clare is anxious to start a family with adoring husband, Pete. When she takes on the seemingly simple task of obtaining her late mother's birth certificate, she finds herself in a family history search that will challenge everything she thought she knew about her life. 

 Scarred by her parents' ill-fated marriage, Tessa lives by three rules - dating unavailable men, building her café into a food empire, and avoiding her father. However, when her carefully planned life is thrown into chaos, Tessa is forced to decide which of these rules she's willing to break. 

 As Clare and Tessa's paths cross and their friendship grows, can they both finally unlock their family secrets in order to realise their futures? The Things We Leave Unsaid is the first novel in the Café Chronicles series by award-winning author, Megan Mayfair.
