At dusk on the saddest and most terrifying day of her life, Haley Stuart, along with her twin brother Nelson, escapes to the home of the Professor, their mysterious godfather. The old man soon learns that the twins are being hunted for the strange and ancient manuscript that Haley brought back from her recent trip to England. Only the professor can decipher the book and explain why the twins are being hunted for its contents.
Through the course of one long, sleepless night, the twins and the professor uncover the thousand-year-old secrets of their ancestors in England. They are riveted by the revelations of fourteen particular ancestors whose poignant stories, one at a time, color Haley’s world with a beautiful and desperately-needed depth of self-understanding. And while taking this suspenseful journey back into eleventh-century England, the trials and adventures of her ancient family seem to be presenting Haley with the solution to her own modern-day nightmare.
The Well Kept Secret is a fun and compelling frolic through eleventh-century England, a playful historical romp which suddenly leaves its readers face to face with their own foremothers, their own forefathers, and their own well-kept secrets.
The Well Kept Secret eBook David Brooks
One of the best presents I have ever received was a Tablet for my birthday last year. Without it, I wouldn't have discovered this extremely enjoyable book. I was looking for something different to read, and I always search for authors that I am not familiar with in the hopes that I will stumble upon the early writings of the next Steven King, Piers Anthony, etc. A Well Kept Secret is definitely one of those types of books. I never wanted to put it down, and I would leave my Kindle going, so that whenever I wished I could just lay down on the bed and begin reading again. I would sleep a few hours,and then begin reading again. I was that enthralled with this story.If you are into mystery, Middle Ages, and all of the Celtic/Gaelic legends such as King Arthur, The Holy Grail, etc, then this book is written just for you!

The Well Kept Secret eBook David Brooks Reviews
Well written with good insight into the times and history that it manipulates, yes the ending is a lifetime movie but it was still historically fascinating
This is a facinating tale of myth and mystery. It is well researched and provides the reader an up close and personal view of the social and political society of the Middle Ages. The characters are well drawn and there is plenty of adventure and excitement.
Wonderful use of actual historical figures mixed with a well written fictitious story. I loved the way it was all tied together at the end. Definitely would recommend.
I enjoyed this book very much. For a first time writer he kept the story moving and i enjoyed how he wove children's stories and rhymes in a way that fit into the story.

A lot of research ended up in a muddled mess.
Plot isn't very plausable, but the historical picture of life in England between 1000 and 1100 was fascinating.
This book should be shelved in the young adult section of the library. I found it to be a fun romp across Britain through the early Middle Ages. The social behavior of the freshman collage students seemed implausible and more realistically that of freshman high school students. The modern dialogue was awkward and I frequently had the impression that the version I downloaded was an unedited copy.
