"Mary Taggart delivers the ultimate beach read with real emotional soul. Set against the breezy backdrop of a Maine summer cottage, Left Unsaid is a candid exploration of grief, forgiveness, and the rift that can open between parents and adult children--and the hope that it's never too late to heal."

-- Brianne Sommerville, author of If I Lose Her and What She Left Behind

Once a popular mommy blogger, Christie Leighton is now widowed, retired, and estranged from her adult children, who resent having had their childhoods exploited for content. When a scathing article about the original early-aughts mommy bloggers is published, Christie is shocked to find her own children quoted in the piece.

Determined to repair the damage, she returns to the family cottage in Maine, hoping that a summer together will help reconnect her fragmented family. Upon arrival, however, Christie is forced to confront a past she thought she'd buried-- including a decades-old lie, her late husband's shocking secrets, and rekindled feelings for a man she once betrayed. She also finds herself lulled back into posting on social media, reconnecting with the superficial online world she promised she'd left behind.

To truly make amends and rebuild her life, Christie must reckon with the cost of turning her loved ones into content, choose honesty over attention, and embrace the real-life messiness that exists beneath the surface of a perfectly curated social media feed.
