What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Schnakenburg delivers a frequently engrossing and often surprising glimpse into a troubled life.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Sandy Schnakenburg is a memoirist of skill, warmth, and compassion and The Housekeeper’s Secret is as much a page-turner as it is a deep dive into relationships, loyalty, and the secrets we keep from those we love the most. Schnakenburg is a brave, new voice.” —Cameron Dezen Hammon, author of This Is My Body: A Memoir of Religious and Romantic Obsession
“This is a tale of women surviving and supporting each other that will amaze and inspire you. Beautifully told with unflinching detail and honesty.”
—Catherine Vance, author of The Mountains Under Her Feet
