Book Overview
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts, Under Currents is a novel about the power of family to harm--and to heal.
For both Zane and Darby, their small town roots hold a terrible secret. Now, decades later, they've come together to build a new life. But will the past set them free or pull them under? Inside a pristine home in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, Zane Bigelow has learned to keep secrets. Strangers see his parents as a successful surgeon and his stylish wife, proud of their children. Only Zane and his sister know the terrible truth. Dominated by his father's rages--and his mother's complicity--Zane fears for his and little Britt's lives. Still he maintains the insidious lie that all is fine, while scribbling his real thoughts in a secret journal he must carefully hide away. Now, as a grown man struggling to build a new life, Zane will find that while his past may always shadow him, it will also show him that love and goodness can triumph--and give him strength to draw on when he once again must stand up and defend himself and the woman he loves.Customer Reviews

Rated 5 starsAnother great NR book
First, Spoiler and Warning: This book has domestic abuse in it. The opening stories are pretty brutal, but are done well enough that you feel the fear and the pain (and disgust) but I didn't find their descriptions grossly graphic. Graphic enough to set the scene; the goal isn't to turn your stomach. What I liked/loved about this book is the story goes beyond the abuse. It touched the victims' lives and those around them...
