Secrets

When Anya returns to Maplewood Hollow for the funeral of her beloved godfather, Alexander Dougher, chaos erupts in the quiet community as buried truths claw their way to the surface through a podcast confession. Father Donovan, the beloved priest of over 25 years, begins to mix up reality and the secrets his office swore him to keep.

Overwhelmed with grief and uncertainty about the man she admired, Anya finds herself mourning but also desperately putting out fires—figuratively and literally. When she digs deeper, she discovers her late aunt’s journals, filled with haunting confessions that cast doubt on everything she thought she knew, including who she really is and who she can trust. And what demons the man she adored kept hidden to his tragic end.

Meanwhile, Tresa, Alexander Dougher’s granddaughter, harbors a truth so explosive that it could shatter the quiet community of Maplewood Hollow and the Dougher name. As loyalties shift and the line between love and betrayal blurs, one thing becomes painfully clear: Maplewood Hollow is a town built on bones, and the ghosts of the past are ready to rise
