Riley Kealoha Morgan, a 26-year-old Hawaiian woman from Kauai, navigates the complex dynamics of family and self-acceptance. Not yet out to her traditional family, Riley hides her relationship with her girlfriend, Jordan Skye. The Morgan family, with its strong ties and bustling home life, presents both a source of comfort and a challenge for Riley. Her supportive best friend, Sage Caspers, encourages her to embrace her truth.

As Riley struggles with the fear of disappointing her mother, Mahina, and her siblings-Keanu, Kaimana, Nakoa, Loko, Angela, and Avery-she realizes the importance of living authentically. With the backing of her diverse friend group, Riley prepares to reveal her secret, hoping for acceptance.

The Garden of Secrets is a heartfelt story about the courage to be oneself, the bonds of family, and the strength found in true friendship. Riley's journey from fear to acceptance highlights the universal struggle of coming out and the beauty of finding unconditional love in unexpected places.
