She thought she left the past behind—until it started painting itself into her present.
When artist Kevan returns home after her grandmother’s death, she intends to close the door on a past she has spent years avoiding. What she doesn’t expect is an inheritance—an abandoned house in the woods, untouched for years, yet heavy with the weight of something unfinished.
When Kevan returns to her hometown, she crosses paths with a stranger, Nathan, who is searching for answers to his sister’s disappearance more than two decades ago—an unsolved mystery that may be tied to the same house in the woods.
Kevan’s art begins to takes a darker turn, pulling her toward images she doesn’t remember creating. The deeper she digs, the more unsettling her memories become—especially those of her childhood best friend, Beth. But as Kevan begins to uncover the truth, she realizes that some bonds run deeper than reason, and some memories are buried for a reason.
As past and present collide, Kevan must untangle a decades-old mystery of betrayal, buried bodies, and the twisted bonds of friendship and family. And when the final pieces fall into place, she’ll learn that not all hauntings come from the dead—some are just echoes of sins still waiting to be reckoned with.

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!
