Don’t let “Chapel Bay Secrets’ sweet coastal facade fool you — the novel brims with depth and complexity. Snider’s protagonists face off with the small minded bigotry that so easily co-exist in a small community, uncover past secrets, embrace their truths, and find that sometimes connection is closer than you think. An uplifting, optimistic novel perfect for these times.
