About The Book:
Fanny may be a small-town defense attorney in upstate New York alongside Lake Ontario, but it’s 1961 with growing opportunities for women. She’s not about to listen to naysayers who encourage her to marry and to stay at home and raise a family. Fanny meets Gina, whose husband Kenny is pinned by society as a lesser man because of his limited intelligence. When Kenny is accused of murder, Fanny takes on the case. Gina hopes for her grandmother’s support, but a hidden act of betrayal during the WWII years when Gina and her grandmother lived in Berlin, Germany, threatens to unsettle Gina and destabilize the case Fanny is building on behalf of Kenny.
Set against the backdrop of the construction of the Berlin Wall, The Last Secret Kept explores the beauty of individualism while demolishing the invisible walls built between ourselves and our loved ones.

Book Blurbs:
“This historical fiction legal drama leaves you guessing and hoping. While
themes of bigotry play out on the global stage at the end of World War II
and the beginning of the Cold War, we are glued to an upstate New York
town where a man with developmental disabilities faces not only a murder
charge, but also society’s stigma. With deeply developed characters, Elaine
Stock has crafted a beautiful story of humanity, empathy, and found family.”–Lisa Montanaro, author of Everything We Thought Was True,
Webinar Host for Women’s Fiction Writers Association (WFWA)
“Who doesn’t love a family saga chock full of unexpected heroes, evil villains,
and worldwide chaos? The Last Secret Kept takes us down the proverbial
path of family dysfunction with pathos, passion, and a dose of reality called
Fanny – my new personal fav fictional legal eagle! Don’t miss the latest tale
penned by the lovely Ms. Elaine Stock. An entertaining read, and yes, the
ending holds surprises.”–Kay Smith-Blum, author of Tangles
