From the Jacket

Every family has its secrets.

Morley, for example, is reluctant to talk about her beauty parlour betrayal and that other man in her life: Mathieu.

Stephanie hasn't been entirely open about what she was doing in the woods last summer.

Sam is keeping mum about his dark powers of prophecy and why he is going by the alias "Samantha."

And Dave tries to avoid mentioning his attempted break-and-enter at the Turlingtons'.

Who can blame them? When you commit acts of arson during Christmas dinner, attempt to start a life of crime by shoplifting a lipstick or sink your false teeth into the forbidden pleasure of corn on the cob, it's hard to come clean.

These are the stories that no one knows, the stories Dave and Morley wouldn't tell you themselves: lies, white and otherwise, aliases, double lives and all manner of petty crimes and everyday transgressions. These are the secrets from the Vinyl Cafe.
