Question: Who has secrets? Answer: Almost every person you know.
Almost everyone has secrets.
Emma has secrets, from her past, shared with only her closest family and her best friends, Sophie and Jo. Secrets she would rather not share with anyone, including Eric, the wonderful but strangely inquisitive man about to enter her life. A man with secrets of his own.
Jo has a secret shared only with Emma which would devastate Sophie if she ever found out.
Jo and Sophie's children have secrets, one of which is about to be very publicly revealed in the gutter press.
Then there is Adrian, Sophie's husband, who has more secrets than the Freemasons and Magic Circle combined. Who's latest secret affair is bad enough, let alone his other secret that the mother of his first child, whom he told Sophie had died some fifteen years previously, is about to become a very much alive part of Sophie's present, with life changing consequences.
And lurking in the background, as everyone elses secrets are revealed, is a secret from Emma's past which even she does not know. A secret she would much rather not face, but which is going to surface anyway in a very violent and dramatic fashion.
