In this sophomore anthology from Dandelion Revolution Press, a diverse tapestry of characters are woven together by one thing: the desire to keep a secret.

From the enchanted hills of Ireland to the bustling cities of India, women wrestle with the secrets they keep and if they are bold enough to expose the truth. Sixteen stories, richly steeped in realistic and fantastical worlds alike, follow characters who navigate hard choices and rewrite their realities. Embark on these unforgettable journeys of hope, repentance, and authenticity. Extraordinary women of all ages-from all ages-bend in their attempt to balance culture with their calling. But will they break?
