Synopsis

What do you do when your world crashes around you? What if a lie was dumped in your lap? How do you move forward while balancing the protection of secrecy against the risk of a lie?

Set in America’s Appalachian and Ozark Mountains during World War II, a young woman marries a soldier on leave. Before he returns to war he takes her to his home to live with his mother. Not long after, she finds herself widowed. Rejected by her family and her husband’s sole surviving parent, she must plot her own course across the war-wrinkled fabric of society.

This is the story of determination and survival. If you love upstanding heroines, intelligent and persistent young women, and compelling page-turners you will love this heartwarming story.

An unusual story which unravels as it draws you in and keeps you tied until the end –Suzy Stewart Dubot, author of Garnets

An eloquent tale harkening to times past, The Lie is steeped in profound truths, which never lose their meaning. Highly recommended. –Anna Scott Graham, author of The Hawk

The Lie grabs your attention from the opening sentence and, without you being aware, you are at once complicit in the deceit. This is a simple tale, told well, which will leave you wondering whether The Lie is a lie at all. –Barnaby Wilde, author of Mercedes Drew Mysteries

The story takes many twists and turns and I felt consistently drawn to turn each page to learn what lay ahead. –Alan Naylor, co-author of Glass Jar

Elizabeth Rowan Keith transports her readers into a masterful atmosphere of WWII in America. There is a distance in what her characters think and what is actually spoken, a skillful storytelling style. –Melissa Szydiek, co-author of Create 50, Twisted Volume 2
