The story follows siblings Caroline, David, and Juliana Moorhouse, now in their fifties, as they embark on a quest to uncover the truth about their parents’ enigmatic past. Their mother, Janis Louise, an artist whose life ended under mysterious circumstances, left behind clues that defy reason. Their father, Xander, eccentric and unpredictable, left a trail of riddles instead of wealth–a 146-page unfinished manuscript among them. Together, these elements spark a riveting search that intertwines memory, inheritance, and revelation.
In its review, Hollywood Book Reviews commends Lowther for “providing a thoughtful look at family and relationships, with each character embodying the notion that you either make life meaningful or risk fading away as if you’d never existed.” The review further notes that the novel “offers a poignant message: time is a relentless teacher, and the future is beyond anyone’s grasp.”
Blending high-stakes intrigue with emotional realism, “What Mom & Dad Never Told Us” captures the tension between truth and perception, exploring how even the most ordinary families conceal extraordinary secrets.
Mic Lowther delivers a satisfying and thought-provoking finale that cements the Moorhouse Trilogy as a landmark in contemporary family fiction.
