The Secret Between Us by Barbara Delinsky
Found out about this from the Book Browse newsletter.
“Physician Deborah Monroe and her teenage daughter Grace are driving home one night in a raging rainstorm when their car hits a man who is on foot on the road. He subsequently dies, throwing Deborah and Grace into emotional turmoil. They share a secret concerning the accident, a lie that takes on a life of its own and threatens both their everyday lives and the special bond between them. And it refuses to go away, growing larger with each denial, jeopardizing ties Deborah has with her renegade sister and their father, a recent widower, and with the ex-husband whose role in their children’s lives is at stake. As details emerge about the accident victim – an aloof local teacher who wove his own web of secrecy – Deborah must find a way to reconcile her worst fears with the truth of that terrible night. “
