The Secret She Kept

De: ReShonda Tate Billingsley

Narrado por: Patricia Floyd

How far will you go to save someone you love and trust when they’ve kept a dangerous secret for years?

That’s the question facing Lance Kingston, a successful Houston magazine executive whose recent marriage to beautiful, high-powered attorney Tia Jiles seemed to promise a bright future for both of them. But under the surface, a fierce and frightening storm was brewing. That’s because Tia never revealed to Lance what she and her family have known since Tia was 17 - she has an illness that takes over her mind, transforming her into a raging, violent woman hell-bent on destruction. Bipolar disorder. Schizophrenia. Or crazy, as Lance’s grandmother continually reminds him.

“Crazy leaves clues,” she told him point-blank, and perhaps Lance should have listened. Tia’s mother tries to pray the problem away...and Tia’s doctors can’t help her if she won’t do what they advise. Now there’s more than their marriage and Tia’s survival at stake: Tia is pregnant, and Lance will stop at nothing to keep his troubled wife and unborn daughter safe. But at what price?

Any additional comments?

this book opens the door to some real life lessons, I know lots of black people who don't believe in depression and this is sad to say, but a lot of us are in a state of depression of some form or fashion and don't want to face the fact, til life gets to heavy to handle. We need to get with the program. Although the book was a bit on the young side for me, I think it could be a wake up call for a lot of younger women, I give this book an A

Loved it

The most relatable book I’ve ever read/heard. I am the mother of a son living with a severe mental illness and the author nailed it.

Educating readers while telling an amazing story!!!

Absolutely loved it, I needed this book at this time in my life. Learning more than I ever imagined about so many mental issues.

Secrets

Oh Reshonda you’re good. These disorders are in families more than people are willing to address. Bipolar and schizophrenia are so prevalent. Thank you for this book. We as blacks need to stop ignoring and get the hep required. Amen and Amen

NOT YOUR SAME OLD LOVE STORY

This was excellent. The storyline was very original and the ending was not predictable. The story kept you guessing and wondering. This was a real story.
I applaud the author on going down a road rarely if ever traveled in story telling and keeping it realistic. No one narrates like Patricia Floyd as always she did an excellent job.
