Generations, Family and Secrets
How families lived their secret lives.
The Secret Families
John Gardner's 'The Secret Generations' was acclaimed as one of the classic works of Cold War espionage fiction. 'The Secret Families' is the final shattering move in the trilogy, the checkmate from a grand master of espionage. The year is 1964. The Cold War is at its height and Caspar Railton, the 'wounded lion' of the Railton clan, which for decades has dominated British Intelligence, is dead. Even worse, evidence has emerged suggesting Caspar was a traitor and suspicion surrounds not only the Railtons but also the Farthings, the American family of spymasters connected by marriage to their British counterparts.

Secrets of the Generations
Secrets of the Generations is a story of collective secrets carried from one generation to the next, causing destruction and unmerciful pain, buried deep and hidden for too long. Chapters introduce and describe the siblings and their relationship to each other and to their parents, how resourceful a mother of ten children had to be to create those moments that last forever, and a father working two or more jobs just to feed the family he is so very proud of, in a world of "Gee, Daddy got another dime's raise this year." Witness a blending of two broken and devastated families working and striving to become a "normal" family. With step-parents, adopted parents, birth mothers, absent parents, and indifferent grandparents, the job seemed nearly impossible. The book is a truthful firsthand account of the horrors of child molestation. Some find it inconceivable that a man of grand reputation and standing in the community would take such a risk with his career. Some don't know the easy access and arrogant confidence of the perpetrator, the seconds it takes to commit the act of molestation and destroy a life, a family. Secrets of the Generations is a story of healing-and survival.
