β¦ Synopsis
The Secret Life is a collection of short stories that takes you inside the lives of five individuals struggling with personal challenges, the sort that have become increasingly common in today's society.
Whether it's infidelity, mental health, body issues, or just keeping up with the Joneses, the characters strive desperately to keep their behaviours and lifestyles secret from those closest to them--and sometimes from themselves. That is, until they are confronted with situations that force them to face those issues head on.
For some, the revelation inspires change, while others have yet to understand the extent of harm that living with such secrets can have.
