Secrets

The novel is about secrets. If the novel had been a true story, it would have made the news. However, some secrets are not worth revealing.

Reason #1: many people find it difficult to handle the skeletons in someone else’s closet.
Reason #2: some puzzles belong in the hands of professionals – doctor, lawyer, accountant, priest. They have a privilege.

Children do not try to pry open the human box. They must know that a person's totality belongs to God alone, and His forgiveness is His.
