More Than You'll Ever Know by Katie Gutierrez

1985- a beautiful banker from Laredo Texas gets in over her head and leads a double life in Mexico. Delores (Lore) has a good life with her husband and twin boys but when she travels to Mexico City for business and meets Andres she can't help but fall for him and the life he promises. Neither family knows of the other until the secret is out and Lore's life tumbles. 2017- Cassie is an aspiring writer and true crime buff and when she learns of Lore and her husband who is in prison she seeks out Lore for her side of the story that Cassie will write. Lore tells Cassie what happened and as their time together grows so does Cassie's attraction to Lore. How could this caring, generous middle aged woman carry on an elaborate dual marriage that tore apart two families? The narrative goes between Lore in two timelines and Cassie as she deals with her own personal upsets. True crime meets intense family drama and female friendships - this is like the Latin version of MY FRIEND ANNA. A stunning debut that bridges cultures.
