The film immerses viewers in the story of a prominent family that lets shame, confusion and misunderstandings about mental illness send them down a tragic path. TV One is showcasing the dynamics of all of this in "The Secret she Kept" which is based on Reshonda Tate Billingsley's astronomical best-seller and written for the screen by Rhonda F. In our day to day struggles we cry everyone's tears and embrace being the king of sorrow without a fight. We are strong, fearless, magical and with FAITH we are able to overcome anything and everything just like super-heroes. As Black women we've been taught that we have super powers and strength unknown to regular human beings. It's a widely known stereotype that topics like depression and suicide are "white people things" or that mental illnesses will just pass on like a common cold.
When asked to imagine mental health in the black community, many people could probably envision a brick wall between themselves and the person they are trying to confide in. Depression, disorders, obsessions and unregulated mood swings are very serious issues which are deeper than we presume.
At any rate, there's a big difference between sadness, depression, and clinical disorders that interrupt the natural process of the mind. She must be there for her friend and her family, but when her husband repeatedly tries to apologize for his absentminded behavior and Paula starts investigating who Stephen was with the night he died, Felise finds it hard to hold herself together.There are many women who struggle with different bouts of issues relating to mental health. When her best friend, Paula, finds out about her husband’s sudden death a day later, Felise is overcome with guilt and grief. Felise, who is a nurse and a good citizen at that, leaves the hotel room without reporting his death. To top it off, when she woke up in the morning, she found that the man to whom she guiltily made passionate love died of a heart attack overnight. But after one perfect storm of a night, it happened - and she can hardly believe it herself. Felise is not the kind of woman to cheat on her husband - especially with her best friend's man. Number-one national best-selling author ReShonda Tate Billingsley gets to the heart of loss, love, and betrayal in her latest novel that is sure to delight her legions of fans.
