All Her Little Secrets
By Wanda M. Morris
Why lawyers are wonderful authors? A question I have always wondered about.
Wow! What a great surprising read. So many twists, and turns. Who would suspect corporate America to have secrets on their executive board?
All Het Little Secrets is the author's first debut novel. Where has she been hiding? I had thought I had it all figured out. Instead wham, the suspense gets you again. From the first page to the last the novel has so much tension, finger nail biting, pins, and needles.

The novel is what happens behind corporate America's doors. But als0 about racism, it hits you right in the face. No holds back from the author. once you are established can you go back to a terrible past, to move on to the present.
Ellice Littlejohn is a young black attorney. Trying to live her ordinary life. But, there are secrets in her past that she keeps revisiting and can't get out of her head.
She followed her white boss, Michael Sayles after they were both let go to another legal firm. The company found out they had a relationship. Michael is married, while Elise is single. Elise walks into the office early like she always does. This time though she finds Michael shot, dead in his office. She decides to play dumb and not report it.
The company decides to promote her to put her in Michael's position. This looks suspicious to her. Why, would they promote her? There are other people who have more experience than her. In the meantime, there are black protesters below the office building protesting discrimination.
All around Elise there are dead bodies popping up including her brother. There are secrets in her past that she can't confront. Until she has no other choice. Her past threatens her future. Her co-workers are threatening, and blackmailing her. Her secret is exposed. There is a cover-up in the company with white supremacy. Secrets in the board room that leaves you in shock.
It puts you in the head of Elise. What does it feel like to be in the minority of professionals working in the office environment? You are the only person of color. It makes you feel uncomfortable reading. But it is an important part of our country's culture for truth.
The author weaves in fantastically in the story, racism, white supremacy, murder, equality, social justice, police brutality, and so much more. The novel surprised me how it weaved the whole story together with our current events of today in America.
