The Untelling by Tayari Jones

This was a simple, quick book about grief, regret, and the secrets we refuse to tell and how all that shapes us.  Aria Jackson is forever impacted by a car accident when she is nine that kills her father and sister.  Years later, she learns that is unable to have children, but decides not to tell her fiance.  Meanwhile, her mother holds onto the guilt that she accidentally smothered her daughter during the car crash years before, never telling anybody in her family this truth.  Overall, the story was entertaining.
