Some visions come as warnings. Others call you home.
Bella Castillo never planned to return to Puerto Rico. But when news of her estranged father’s death reaches her, duty and curiosity pull her back to the island she left behind. What she finds is not just grief-but a neighborhood on the brink. Her grandmother’s neighbors face eviction as luxury condos are rise where generations once lived, and her grandmother’s house may be next.
Bella faces not just her grief, but the revival of her long-dormant psychic visions fill her with dread. Ghostly echoes of the past, whisper of a family secret. The more she uncovers, the more she begins to understand that her power is rooted not only in spirit, but in place and that the battle for the soul of her community may demand more than she ever imagined.
Secrets Best Kept Hidden is a stirring novel of memory, resistance, and rediscovery, where grief opens the door to power, and home is something worth fighting for.
