Plot Summary of Secrets Never Told
"In one fell swoop Morgana Johnson-Wells loses her beloved mother and discovers that her husband of thirty years, Frankin, is cheating on her with a younger woman. Reeling from her mother's death and her husband's infidelity, Morgana embraces the opportunity to head south to Georgia to settle her mother's affairs. While in Salvation, Georgia, Morgana grows closer to her Uncle Julian and tries to sort out her life. While sorting through her mother's belongings, Morgana stumbles across her mother's hidden diaries. Morgana is stunned and a bit disillusioned as she reads her mother's private thoughts, fears and secrets.

When Morgana meets artist Erick Wilson she is comforted by his strong male presence. Suddenly, in Erick, Morgana feels as if she is receiving from a man what has been lacking in her marriage with Franklin. Erick is romantic, sensitive and selfless, providing Morgana with a sounding board by which she can deal with the major issues in her life. "

Sandra Calhoune, Resident Scholar
