She left her past behind. But her art is bringing it back.
When artist Kevan Renee Copeland returns home after her grandmother’s death, she plans to close the door on everything she’s spent years trying to forget. Instead, her grandmother leaves her one final inheritance: a key, and no explanation for what it unlocks.
Now, Kevan’s carefully constructed life unravels as her art takes a darker turn, pulling her toward images she doesn’t remember creating. Piece by piece. Image by image.
But the answers she’s looking for lie in the woods. An abandoned house. Untouched for years, yet heavy with the sense that something is unfinished.
When she crosses paths with Nathan Hill, a man searching for answers about his sister’s disappearance two decades ago, their questions lead to this same place.
As Kevan’s carefully controlled life begins to unravel, so do the memories she’s tried to keep buried, especially those of her childhood best friend, Beth. And the deeper she digs, the more the truth resists being found.
Because some memories aren’t lost. They’re buried. And whatever her grandmother tried to keep locked away…is coming back to life.

Praise for Where Secrets Stay
"
"Where Secrets Stay" by CherAnn Wright is an absolute page-turner that captivated me from the very first chapter. This was the first book I've read by this author, and I am already eagerly looking forward to exploring more of her work. Wright masterfully intertwines suspense, mystery, and deep emotional undertones, creating a story that is as haunting as it is compelling.
This book broke my heart many times, I was literally sobbing by the end. There was so much going on that I was trying so hard to figure out which direction this book was going to end. Granted I put a few things together, but the end had me absolutely speechless. I didn’t know what direction this book was going to head at any point and I was constantly left with the need to know. I couldn’t put this book down, and when I had to it’s all I could think about until I could get back to it. This was such a phenomenal story line, with even better writing.

I read a lot and this was such a phenomenal story. I literally couldn’t stop and finished it in one sitting. It’s tragic and heart wrenching and yet you must read on. It’s also loving and touching too. It’s a story of struggle and hurt but also seeing that good can still come from broken pieces if you put them back together. Brilliantly written! I will be looking into what else this author has written!
