Synopsis:
The young woman standing at the back door of the prosperous Winnipeg house that cold day in 1927 knew she had to have work. An immigrant, she needed to help her family. But she had no idea, when she finally got inside the house to be a domestic, that her experiences there would mark her for the rest of her life. This Hidden Thing reminds us how dangerous and powerful secrets can be. This is a lyrical and moving novel that offers one woman's compelling, ordinary, and surprising life.
