Our Little Secret, Revealed tells a story about the abuse, addiction, and eventual victory over the sin of sexual addiction and the role God played throughout. From the anguish of abuse to the delight of victory, Hardy shares the secrets of a young boy in an ultra-functional family who struggled through abuse that affected his adult life. It chronicles how throughout, he kept his faith in Christ. He divulges his story to help others successfully recover and realize all things do work together for good.
