Many homes that have tried to do the otherwise failed so in order to have a good home built on trust, Nigerian born, Canadian author, Vivian Kay came out with her debut Christian fiction novel, tagged Secret Place lives in Chatham, Ontario with her family where she is working on her next novels.

The 350 page christian novel from the coffers of Quramo Publishing Limited which is already making waves can be described as an amazing story of restoring and redemption.

A faith story woven around the themes of imperfection, divine encounters and redemption. In this contemporary Christian novel, readers will see how love and faith erodes with promises not kept and understand that no matter how far we run away from our problems, it’s impossible to hide from God’s presence.

After many years of happiness, Moni Badmus’s marriage is falling apart. Unwilling to lose her only child, a self-proclaimed daddy’s girl, to her husband in a custody settlement she goes along with his suggestion of an unconventional marriage intervention. Will Moni’s fear of losing what she holds dear take her to dark places she never imagined she would go?

He escapes his troubled life by accepting a pastoral position in a city on the other side of Canada, but soon his twisted past catches up with him.

In this emotionally charged tale of sacrifice, temptation, and redemption, two couples learn sin has consequences and there is no place they can hide from the presence of God.

According to Rhonda McKnight, author of award winning novel, Unbreak My Heart, “She is an anointed storyteller… Readers will not soon forget God’s message of forgiveness between the pages.

“In Secret Places, Kay pens a unique and redemptive take about what happens when we bend our value to fit our carnal desires. You will find yourself in a love hate relationship with Moni and Sam as they try to pull themselves out of their web of deceit. It kept me turning pages to find out what’s next.

For Adrienne Thompson author of Ain’t Nobody , “Secret Places clearly illustrated the dangers of letting the tiniest bit of sin creep into your life and/or marriage, whether in thought or deed. It also nicely illustrates the saving grace of God. At times, this book made me cringe, made me angry, and left me in shock – and shouldn’t a good book evoke that type of emotion?”
