Lifetime's "Secrets of a Marine’s Wife" Is a Compassionate, Cautionary Tale

Lust, betrayal and a senseless murder form the backdrop to the new Lifetime movie Secrets of a Marine's Wife, the latest entry in the network's Summer of Secrets programming event.

The secret show Home Before Dark recounts the tale of Hilde Lisko, a nine-year-old correspondent who moves from the huge city to her dad’s little old neighborhood of Erie Harbor. The Apple TV+ arrangement is motivated by the genuine Hilde Lysiak, who established her own special news distribution, Orange Street News when she was only seven years of age.
