When desperation leads to homicide, can healing, freedom—and the faith—be found?
A Sunday school teacher hides a dark secret. Charisma Joel’s family has been plagued by mental illness for years, leaving her in denial and too ashamed to get help. Desperate and angry with God, she turns to cocky, womanizing Dr. Miles Logan for solace. But when a homicide occurs and more dark secrets are exposed, Charisma is left to wonder if she will ever find the relief and freedom she desires for herself and her family.
Secret Place reveals the devastation mental illness can cause within families, while offering solid hope and inspiration along the way.
