In the small, idyllic coastal town of Chapel Bay, California things are not what they seem to be. Threats of a book ban, a nefarious author who blackmails an old friend over a failed love affair, a Japanese American librarian who is desperate to find her missing father. And that's just the start!

Every secret has an expiration date. Librarian Brenda Kato has always felt safe in the idyllic town of Chapel Bay, but not anymore. In CHAPEL BAY SECRETS, the suspense builds as bigotry, book bans, and battles of the heart collide. Will the power of love be enough to heal the wounds of the past?
