About the Author
Mary Taggart has worked in all forms of media as a lifestyle expert. As the former editor-in-chief and publisher of Ottawa At Home magazine, she has channelled her passion for all things home and family into a career as an author of upmarket fiction exploring the storied female journey.
As a voracious reader, she founded the #marysmustread book club. Always in the know, Mary can be trusted to recommend the latest buzz-worthy books.
Mary is the mother of four adult children, each with a spouse she adores. She’s a grandmother to several Instagram-worthy cuties whom she’ll rarely post about. She lives in Ottawa, Canada, with her husband and Golden Doodle, but spends summers in Maine tootling around town on a bike with a basket in search of a story idea.
Left Unsaid
“Mary Taggart delivers the ultimate beach read with real emotional soul. Set against the breezy backdrop of a Maine summer cottage, Left Unsaid is a candid exploration of grief, forgiveness, and the rift that can open between parents and adult children—and the hope that it’s never too late to heal.”
— Brianne Sommerville, author of If I Lose Her and What She Left Behind
Once a popular mommy blogger, Christie Leighton is now widowed, retired, and estranged from her adult children, who resent having had their childhoods exploited for content. When a scathing article about the original early-aughts mommy bloggers is published, Christie is shocked to find her own children quoted in the piece.
Determined to repair the damage, she returns to the family cottage in Maine, hoping that a summer together will help reconnect her fragmented family. Upon arrival, however, Christie is forced to confront a past she thought she’d buried— including a decades-old lie, her late husband’s shocking secrets, and rekindled feelings for a man she once betrayed. She also finds herself lulled back into posting on social media, reconnecting with the superficial online world she promised she’d left behind.
To truly make amends and rebuild her life, Christie must reckon with the cost of turning her loved ones into content, choose honesty over attention, and embrace the real-life messiness that exists beneath the surface of a perfectly curated social media feed.
