A Family Secret


Book Description

It’s our secrets that make us sick. So said a famous life coach. We often think that keeping our skeletons well locked up in the closet protects and shields us and our social standing, from ridicule and scrutiny. We even dread airing our dirty laundry in public, not wanting to risk tarnishing our beloved reputation. In fact, it’s unthinkable for so many of us. However, it all comes at the cost of our happiness, self-expression, peace of mind and a chance of enjoying true and meaningful relationships. Read my ensemble of seven feel good poems, one for each day of the week, about Neil and Martha’s well-guarded family secret and how its accidental revelation initiates a cascade of events in their lives and in those of their loved ones that leads to forgiveness, understanding and even love! For it’s never too late to be who we truly are. And when we do accomplish that, we learn who our true friends are and we can then enter into a more authentic relationship with them, and most importantly with ourselves. Don’t believe me? Read on and find out. I dare you!
