"Daddy's Big Secret, Jordan Learns the Truth," is a heart-felt, non-fiction story that depicts the recollection of his childhood from a father, who is coming to grips with the truth that he had tried to hide from the world and sometimes himself. After long consideration, and with the support of his loving wife; in a moment of questions and answers from his young daughter, he decides to take the huge step of telling her the truth that he'd been hiding for so long. This decision to be more open and honest and embrace his past and still current demons, was one of the hardest decisions that he has ever made. Jermaine Keith Seamon is a Philadelphia, PA native, but currently resides in Georgia.

Fathers always want to impart wisdom and truth to our children, but how and when to pass on the intimate details of our personal struggles, mistakes, and secrets are often more difficult than anything. At that particular moment in time, I had a choice whether to continue hiding my biggest secret, or to divulge to my biggest fan (my daughter) that her superhero was not the perfect picture that she had painted of me. I recognized in that moment, that my secret could possibly provide insight into her life, while also giving her the hope that she may eventually need to overcome struggles and internal doubts that plague every person once they realize that their different. It was my obligation to share her Daddy's Biggest Secret, and tell Jordan the truth.
