In a small, southern town, there is a scorned secret that has ripped through homes. Accursed is the whore that it came from, people around town say, but to a sassy, country girl named Secret, that's not all to it. She asks herself, what curse, and what does it have to do with me? That's when Secret takes matters into her own hands and attempts to solve the terrifying mystery of her family that roots from her own mother!
Will she ever uncover the curse that lives behind her name, or will Secret discover that all the hatred aimed her direction is truly deserved?
Be sure to read the second book in this saga titled COLORED LILY: POPPA TOOK MY INNOCENCE, the story of Jocelyn - SECRET's mother, and after that the final book from the pages of this successful series titled PATON
