Cadence didn’t sit down one night and decide that downing
two bottles of wine was a brilliant idea. Her drinking
snuck up on her - as a way to sleep, to help her relax
after a long day, to relieve some of the stress of the
painful divorce that’s left her struggling to make ends
meet with her five-year old son, Charlie. It wasn’t always
like this. Just a few years ago, Cadence seemed to have it
all—a successful husband, an adorable son, and a promising
career as a freelance journalist. But with the demise of
her marriage, her carefully constructed life begins to
spiral out of control. Suddenly she is all alone trying to
juggle the demands of work and motherhood.
Logically, Cadence knows that she is drinking too much, and
every day begins with renewed promises to herself that she
will stop. But within a few hours, driven by something she
doesn’t understand, she is reaching for the bottle - even
when it means not playing with her son because she is too
tired, or dropping him off at preschool late, again. And
even when one calamitous night it means leaving him alone
to pick up more wine at the grocery store. It’s only when
her ex-husband shows up at her door to take Charlie away
that Cadence realizes her best kept secret has been
discovered…. Heartbreaking, haunting, and ultimately life-
affirming, Best Kept Secret is more than just the story of
Cadence—it’s a story of how the secrets we hold closest are
the ones that can most tear us apart.
