Secrets from "summary" of The Moonlight School by Suzanne Woods Fisher
Secrets are like buried treasure, hidden deep within the recesses of our hearts. They are whispered in confidence, shared only with those we trust most. But secrets have a way of taking on a life of their own, growing bigger and more powerful with each passing day. In the small town of Troublesome Creek, secrets are as common as the rolling hills that surround it. They are woven into the very fabric of the community, shaping the lives of its residents in ways both seen and unseen.
Some secrets are harmless, mere trifles that add a bit of spice to everyday life. But others are darker, holding the potential to destroy relationships and unravel the very foundation of trust. These are the secrets that weigh heavy on the hearts of those who carry them, casting a shadow over their every interaction. In Troublesome Creek, it seems as though everyone has something to hide, whether it be a past misdeed, a forbidden love, or a long-buried shame.
But despite the danger that secrets pose, there is also a certain allure to them. They hold the promise of intrigue and mystery, drawing others in like moths to a flame. In a place like Troublesome Creek, where gossip spreads like wildfire, secrets are currency, traded back and forth in a never-ending game of whispers and half-truths.
And yet, for all their power and allure, secrets can also be a burden, weighing down those who carry them with a sense of guilt and shame. They can isolate us from those we love, creating a barrier that is difficult to breach. In Troublesome Creek, it is only through honesty and vulnerability that true connections can be forged, allowing the light of truth to shine through the darkness of secrecy.
