Here are some discussion questions to think about while reading the book.
1) Why do you think Owen hid his past from Hannah and Bailey?
2) Owen could have left any message for Hannah, why do you think he chose, “Protect her?”
3) We find out that Hannah’s mother left her when she was a child. How does her relationship with her mother compare to Bailey’s?
4) Did you have any suspicions for why Owen disappeared? Were you surprised by the reveal?
5) Owen left some clues about his past, do you think that he wanted Hannah and Bailey to investigate and uncover why he had to disappear?
6) What did you think of Hannah and Bailey’s relationship? Was it an authentic depiction of a step-mom and step-daughter relationship?
7) Considering Owen and his disappearance are both a huge part of this book, did you feel satisfied only getting glimpses of what he was like through flashbacks?
8) Do you believe it was fair of Owen to leave Hannah to care for his daughter by herself without ever discussing this with her?
9) Do you think Hannah made the right decision when she chose for her and Bailey to not to go into witness protection with Owen?
10) Do you think there will every be an opportunity for Owen to reunite with Hannah and Bailey?

We all have stories we never tell.
Before Owen Michaels disappears, he manages to smuggle a note to his beloved wife of one year: Protect her.
Despite her confusion and fear, Hannah Hall knows exactly to whom the note refers: Owen’s sixteen-year-old daughter, Bailey. Bailey, who lost her mother tragically as a child. Bailey, who wants absolutely nothing to do with her new stepmother.
As Hannah’s increasingly desperate calls to Owen go unanswered; as the FBI arrests Owen’s boss; as a US Marshal and FBI agents arrive at her Sausalito home unannounced, Hannah quickly realizes her husband isn’t who he said he was. And that Bailey just may hold the key to figuring out Owen’s true identity—and why he really disappeared.
Hannah and Bailey set out to discover the truth, together. But as they start putting together the pieces of Owen’s past, they soon realize they are also building a new future. One neither Hannah nor Bailey could have anticipated.
