A story of family secrets and the power of love
We all have secrets in our lives. Shame can create secrets. Secrets can hurt children. Especially family secrets. Sometimes it manifests when we are young, but many times the hurt strikes when we are older—when the truth means more. For Jamie, she has never known the truth of her Father. Now she is 25 and successful on the outside, but inside is suffering. No matter what, her mother refuses to tell her the truth. Jamie will have to find out on her own.
