From the national best-selling and award-winning ReShonda Tate Billingsley comes this gripping and emotional exploration of the complex bond between mother and daughter.

From the time Brooke Green was seven years old, she has lived with the pain of losing her mother. Her father has done the best job he could in raising her, but a piece of her always felt empty. On the day of her father's funeral, her grandmother breaks the shocking news: Her mother, Sarah, is very much alive. She abandoned her family because she claimed she wasn't fit for motherhood.

After doing some research, Brooke discovers her mother is living in Atlanta, enjoying a great career...and a brand-new family. Stunned, Brooke doesn't know if she wants answers or revenge against the mother who abandoned her. When she meets Sarah's husband, Tony, Brooke sees the perfect way to make her mother pay. But her plan for revenge just may leave everyone in danger and end up costing Brooke more than she ever bargained for.

Secrets Always Come to the Light

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2017

Verified Purchase

Brooke Hayes seems to have everything - amazing publicist position, handsome fiancé, and loving dad. After the darkest day of her life - the death of her dad...her reality changed forever. Brooke begin to question everything she thought was true. She allows herself to get caught up in the drama that life threw her way and almost missing out on her blessing.

ReShonda Tate Billingsley continues to confront difficult life situations that are not discussed openly in the African American community. The characters develop significantly throughout the novel allowing the pace of the story to flow nicely. The drama builds with every page and one is not sure what Brooke will do next. The twist at the end caught this reader by surprise and the riveting ending to a storyline that needed to be communicated. Once again, ReShonda delivers excellence in storytelling. A MUST READ!

He Tried To Tell It

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2017

Verified Purchase

At seven years old, Brooke lost her mother. Years later she would lose her father, Jacob. After his death, Brooke began to learn about the many secrets surrounding her life. These secrets would lead to a heavy disagreement with Trent, her finance. Her grandmother tried to help her understand the past. To learn all of her past, she would have to leave Raleigh and go to Atlanta.

It is easy to feel deep sympathy and empathy for Brooke. There are feelings for mothers too. All mothers step out on an unknown path. There are dramatic stories some mothers can tell. This one in "Seeking Sarah" rings true. I think we've all felt some of the mother's feelings or the emotions of the daughter. There comes a time when these words are taken with more than a grain of salt. "Tired of the games...Tired of the losses."

ReShonda Tate Billingsley's "Seeking Sarah" is an emotional book. It leaves me hoping to find any Sarahs in my life. Sarah is such a meaningful name. Oh, please tell "Daniel Black" hello, and there is a prayer for his future success along with your future success and further explorations to find your Inner Oprah

Does revenge ever really satisfy a hurting soul?

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2017

Verified Purchase

First let me say that I enjoyed reading this book. RTB is one of my favorite authors. I enjoyed the story and a lot of the story was real to me. My husband's mom left him and his 5 siblings and their lives were never the same! I still see the effects of her abandonment on her children's lives.....it has even affected our marriage because of the pain my husband experienced. Some parts of the story didn't flow well for me but in all I enjoyed the book. I'm not giving away any spoilers or retelling the story but this is not your typical feel good reunion story!

Another Great Billingsley Novel!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

I received this novel on the day it was issued and completed it within two days. This novel covers several topics, expectations, hurt, lies,deceptions, revenge,control and second chances. A second chance is what Brooke eventually finds with Sarah after seeking revenge. Trent is suspect from the beginning. He has control issues. His love for Brooke is also suspect.
Billingsley's novels always leave you with "what if?" I own all of her books and often, I wish she would write a sequel. There really needs to be a sequel to this one and "What's Done In The Dark." You can never go wrong with a Billingsley novel!

REVENGE CAN SOMETIMES BE SWEET BUT AT WHAT COST????

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

Lies, and Secrets have a way in making one to start having doubts about themselves and feeling unloved. especially when you have questions about you mother's abandonment when your father Jacob chooses to fabricate a lie in hopes this would be sufficient and said that "your mother died" In his own mindset he thought that this answer would resolve all doubts Brooke may would've had about being "motherless", even though Jacob provided a stable home life for Brooke there was always "missing pieces to this whole puzzle" that left her having unanswered questions that she couldn't ask her Dad that definitely needed to be answered from a woman's perspective. An unfortunate incident occurred regarding her father's health which left him in a life-threating position that he felt he needed to "come clean" with Brooke about was that HER MOTHER WAS ALIVE!!!!

Even though Brooke harbored ill feelings towards her dad after being told the truth about her mother. She was determine to located her at any cost she hired a Private Investigator she depletes the joint back account that her and her fiance Trent had their savings to start a life together, against Trent's "better judement" which cause them to disengage their lives regarding their marriage plans., Determinded to locate her mother she "throws caution to the wind" In her search she discovers that her mother has started a new life and a new family, not once giving her a second thought. But you can guarantee one thing the outcome wasn't what Brooke nor her mother Sarah had expected it to be. Sometimes in life one will find it's best to leave "pandora's box" closed not unless your up to facing the ugly reality that one will have to face.OR IS IT?

Wow!

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2019

So many emotions from reading this story. Hurt that doesn’t heal becomes bitterness. Brooke was wounded in so many ways. Her mother’s absence left a hole in her heart. When she found out the truth, it became bitterness. All the adults in her life took away her choices and made life altering decisions for her. She was so wrong for how she handled things, although it’s clear she acted from a wounded place. She lost so much trying to heal the past.

I love Reshonda Tate Billingley's books as they generally always keep me entertained. This book was no different it was definitely quite a bit of drama and had some twists I did not see coming. Though this book was entertaining and had quite a bit of drama, I will say that somewhere in the middle of the book the story started to drag a little for me. I am used to her books keeping me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end, and this one did not do that for me. 4.5*
