The Secret Between Us by Barbara Delinsky

Oh families! There are always secrets, deceptions and misunderstandings. Everyone lies and sometimes it is for a good reason - or so we think. In this book Deborah lies for her daughter. After a car accident in which a pedestrian (in this case her daughter's teacher) is injured, Deborah phrases her statements to the police so they assume that she, not her 16 year old daughter, was driving. It appears the victim has nothing more severe than a broken leg but by the next day he is dead. Ah, the plot thickens. Of course there are also many sub-plots going on. It was an easy, fast read and I enjoyed it.
