Hidden Past

About the Book

Have you ever wondered how much to reveal about yourself to another person? Especially when you are falling in love with someone, it is tempting and even seductive to tell them "everything" and to learn all that you can about them-as you pursue the depths of newfound intimacies.

HIDDEN PAST probes the events that precede a "perfect couple" in their commitment to each other. This psychological drama quickly pulls strangers together and provokes empathy and self-reflection in you the reader. It challenges you to think about what aspects of your past continue to haunt you.

When we think about our past, how much is clear and how much is blurred? Particularly with regard to intense physical involvements, how much was about sex and how much was about love? And, how much was done out of desire and self-interest and how much because of coercion?

The romantic feelings and suspense in HIDDEN PAST will arouse you and unnerve you. You may recall a relationship in which you discovered that the person you loved purposely omitted certain vital details. You may also recall some things about yourself that you have shared, and now wish you could take back.
