Set in California's Mother Lode - "The Secret" is a love story about life and all of the promise and heartache it holds. It's about the hardships and happiness Josef and Sarah endure together as their innocent friendship evolves into a tender, torrid, tragic and unforgettable affair they hold in their hearts all the days of their lives. Beginning in the 1940s in gold country California and enduring to present day - "The Secret" carries a young German American detainee and a farmer's daughter through the life, laughter, love and heartbreak brought about by honor and obligation. Every now and again, a story comes along, captures our hearts and we are never the same again. Every now and again, that story becomes more than a novel -- it becomes a part of us. Find yourself in The Secret. Based on actual events. Is this your Mother Lode town?
