dreamed about. How can a woman who has so much going for herself be so
unhappy? With a man who's constantly cheating and her past rapidly
catching up to her, she must figure out a way to get all those secrets
out in the open--without taking a loss. Take a ride on this roller
coaster with Amina Washington and uncover the Secrets of a Kept Chick.
