"Veil of Secrets," a novel written by Shannon Etheridge and Kathryn Mackel, is an intriguing story that really pulls the reader into the midst of politics and also into the midst of relationships. For all appearances sake, Melanie and Will are the perfect couple, but that is as far as it goes - appearances. Melanie is struggling with her past and that is keeping her from the relationship that she desires and needs with her husband and is a barrier to him. Will either wants to improve the marriage or end it with divorce. Melanie sees her daughter going down the same path she took and wants to help her not to make the same mistakes. This book is a read that will have you experiencing a whole array of emotions and really give you a different perspective into campaigns and yet also push you to do a soul searching yourself. This is not necessarily a typical light summery read, but it is a good change of pace.
