Secrets is the first adult novel written by Robin Jones Gunn and I loved it, in this novel we are taught a lesson, a lesson that God loves us no matter who we are and no matter what our secrets are but that if we don’t tell our secrets to someone they will have a way of destroying us or keep us from happiness.
I received this book for WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing for my honest review.
