Secrets Kept

Secrets Kept is one of many short stories that have spun from Cindy Davis’ novel Zipacna’s Legacy.

As an author and psychic, she strives to help adults connect emotionally with this sometimes-confusing always fast-paced world. Often when we’re young, we have questions none of our elders can answer. We wonder about the shadow in the corner of the bedroom that no one else can see. We wonder why something we dream about comes true a day or so later.

These aren’t things to fear. They are normal. They are part of our spiritual awakening. In this story:

Cadence and Abraham Stonemason adore their village of Chi’país, Mexico. They run the general store and participate in everything, from the farmers market to elections. When Cadence discovers her husband’s long-held secret, she is ready to run back to the States because when the townspeople find out—and in a small village secrets cannot be kept forever—their world will shatter beyond repair.
