    Keeper of Secrets" is a collection of short stories (primarily) revolving around one violent incident in a restaurant in San Francisco. It weaves together the stories of a group of people who are, for a variety of reasons, unable to come to terms with events from their pasts, and are therefore unable to live in the present. The characters are linked to each other in some way, and the stories tend to tie into each other, which I really enjoyed. I loved how the characters all strive to understand themselves better, to confront their fears and unanswered questions, and ultimately, how much depth there is to each one of them. With each story, the characters' pasts are hidden from the reader, and their secrets are slowly revealed, piece-by-piece. The courage they must gather to turn their lives around is inspiring.

    My only complaint is that the stories get a little repetitive; many of the characters seem to face the same fundamental problems. And there was a brief moment when I just wanted to tell one of the characters to get over herself...

    Overall, though, I recommend this book. Anjuelle Floyd's writing is unpretentious and seems effortless, and her stories are insightful and original.
