"Mystery, first love, and long-held secrets fold together in this atmospheric tale of a family coming to a long overdue reckoning." ―Lisa Wingate, #1 New York Times-bestselling author A young woman arrives at the grand ancestral home of her husband's family, hoping to fortify her deteriorating marriage. But what she finds is not what she expected: tragedy haunts the hallways, whispering of heartache and a past she never knew existed . . . Bethlehem is a multigenerational saga that weaves together the lives of two prominent families during the historic steel boom era of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Inspired by the true titans of the industry, Bethlehem is a mystery, a love story, and a tragedy. It is a story of temptation and regret; a story of secrets and the cost of keeping them; a story of forgiveness. It is the tale of two complex women: the dynamic and beautiful Susannah Parrish Collier and her daughter-in-law, the outsider Joanna Rafferty Collier. Thrown together in the name of family, they will unravel mysteries long hidden and complex that have threatened to tear apart a dynasty. "With delicate and insightful prose, Karen Kelly sweeps us into the psyches of two deeply entwined families as their lives―and secrets―unravel. A haunting debut." ―Georgia Hunter, New York Times-bestselling author "Bethlehem is an extremely deft first novel about the love that is lost and found when family secrets are kept for generations. Karen Kelly is the real deal." ―Mark Sullivan, New York Times-bestselling author
