Secrets We Keep: Shame, Lies and Family is hosted by journalist Amelia Oberhardt who discovered at her mum’s wake a photo of her mother as a teenager, wearing a wedding ring, standing beside her apparent husband and cuddling an unknown baby.

Trying to find out more, Oberhardt’s journey led to more hidden secrets of 1950-1970s, delving into hidden pregnancies, shotgun marriages, forced adoptions, the challenges of young women in that time faced with impossible situations and the secrets they leave their families decades later.
