My Review

Secrets Unveiled by Mary Manners is another great sweet romance. And a sweet message on forgiveness. Sometimes things in life come back to haunt us when we are older.  But through lifes lessons we can learn forgiveness.  That's just what this story is about. Grant had something from his pass come back while playing dress up with his niece. Doing things he regrets from his pass he thought all that was long gone till a silver heart locket falls out of some old jeans he wore when he was a teen.  When he opens the locket  the pictures in it remind him of someone but who? Mean time helping out a school with his niece's class on a field trip to the zoo Maggie's purse falls down and everything comes out of it. Instead of Maggie getting down on those dirty floor he retrieves the things for her. There is a picture album  and it gets dirty so he goes to wipe the pages clean for her and on the very last page is a picture of a lady wearing the silver locket. O who could this be? Gemma lets it out to Maggie her uncle has that necklace. Now there are fireworks between Grant and Maggie. Can Grant explain  why he has it and why he hadn't returned it to her? Can he get Maggie to believe in second chances?
