Fiction by Diane Chamberlain
At the beginning of this story, a midwife called Noelle kills herself with an overdose of stockpiled medication. She leaves behind a short note for her best friends Tara and Emerson, asking them to take care of her garden, but she gives no reason for her drastic actions. Emerson in particular feels compelled to ferret out the cause, and it turns out that Noelle had secrets even her best friends didn't know about.
The book is called The Midwife's Confession, but I find it interesting that Noelle doesn't actually confess to anything. Instead, it's more like a detective story in which the secrets are slowly revealed. I think another good title would be Secret Sisters, but maybe that would give too much away.
This was a really good story with great characters.
