The Secrets Within Us

They say few people can remember anything that happened to them before the age of 3, but can a childhood trauma lie buried for 24 years? At 27, Jacob Redmond has already seen enough tragedy to fill a lifetime: father dead, mother in a long-term coma. When he meets the charming and practical Penny Travis, he thinks things are finally getting better -- until the headaches begin. How can the woman of his dreams be the force behind his nightmares? It might be because Penny is the key to a past Jacob doesn’t even know he has. A past where his new girlfriend unwittingly played a part in a crime that has defined Jacob's entire life. Penny is broken-hearted that the school her late father created has been lost to foreclosure, largely due to the embezzlement committed by her loser ex. Discouraged and lonely, she can’t help her attraction to the sharp real estate attorney representing the new owner, despite his ’enemy’ status. When Jacob’s search for the answers to his past gets in the way of their relationship, Penny must decide if she is willing to follow him into the rabbit hole of his nightmares and help bring the truth to light. As Jacob's mother stirs from her deep slumber, secrets begin to unfold, secrets that shake Jacob's world to its core. Can he accept the heartbreak of the past and move on with his newfound love? Or will the truth destroy his ability to find happiness with Penny?
