Family Secrets
by DeAnn Daley Holcomb

Jennalee will never forget the day she learned the shattering truth about her identity.
The words from her adopted father ring in her ears. “Your Aunt Charlene knew
everything; she arranged it all.”
Pleasant Valley, a small Texas town, is the setting for Family Secrets, a
heartbreaking, humorous, and romantic journey of three generations of women. As
hair is dyed, trimmed, bobbed, and curled at Charlene’s House of Style, there are
secrets shared, gossip galore, and lifetime bonds of family and friendship formed
with more than hairspray.
The blond, beautiful, voluptuous Charlene Cristabelle Maurice has designated
herself as the town’s fashion expert, counselor, and social worker. Charlene controls
her destiny and tries to control the fate of everyone around her.
Emma Cherie Secrest finds the courage to leave her abusive husband. In the
conservative era she lives in, Emma will risk it all to be with her soul mate.
Jennalee Campbell Secrest is sworn to secrecy about the identity of her birth father.
Jennalee turns to the strong, smart, and handsome Lance Forrester to soothe away
her heartache.
Family Secrets spans life’s passages of love, marriage, family, and
friendship, from the death of family to the wonderful joy in the birth of a
child. Family Secrets will take you on a whimsical journey through life
where shock and anger will give way to humor, happiness, and the
discovery of how lifetime experiences reaffirm how important it is to
live each day to the fullest.
Happy Reading!
