Her Mother’s Name by Daniel Craparo
English | 2026 | Mystery & Thriller
Laura Keane has spent fifteen years being the perfect mother.
She bakes cookies for the school fundraiser. She waves to her neighbors. She drives her daughter Ellie to soccer practice. She also keeps a go-bag in her closet, with fake IDs and enough cash to disappear within the hour.
Because Laura Keane is not who the world thinks she is.
Fifteen years ago, a young woman was murdered. And someone made a choice that changed everything — a choice born out of desperation, grief, and a fierce, complicated love.
Now Ellie is sixteen, fearless, and fighting battles her mother can’t control. When Ellie publicly exposes a classmate’s crime, she draws the attention of a powerful family with unlimited resources and zero conscience. They start digging into Laura’s past. And what they’ll find could destroy everything — the life she built, the daughter she raised, and the secret buried in a mountain clearing that she visits once a year.
This leaves her with an impossible choice: Save her daughter, or save the secret that made them a family.
