Yes. I'll quote the book directly from Chapter 3, page 66.

"Your insight serves you well," Ben nodded. He quickly became stern though. "Bury your feelings deep down, Luke. They do you credit, but they could be made to serve the Emperor." [here is where the film cuts to the rebel fleet, but the novel continues.]
Luke tried to comprehend what his old teacher was saying. So much information, so fast, so vital ... it almost made him swoon.
Ben continued his narrative. "When your father left, he didn't know your mother was pregnant. Your mother and I knew he would find out eventually, but we wanted to keep you both as safe as possible, for as long as possible. So I took you to live with my brother Owen on Tatooine ... and your mother took Leia to live as the daughter of Senator Organa, on Alderaan."
The book continues with about another page of dialogue about Leia growing up as an Organa, and how she became the leader of her cell of the Alliance.
