The Secret of Lies is a powerful novel set on the Atlantic coast in 1957. Stevie Burke, a young teenage girl, is faced with the ugly truth that people are not always who they seem to be, even though you may have spent your entire life around them.
The memories of the summer of ’57, the year her life changed forever, dog Stevie’s heels like a shadow. Years later, in an attempt to outrun them, she finds herself miles from home and at a loss for words when the urge to call the very person she has run from, has her reaching for the phone.
Ash Waterman, her husband, and the one living person that loves her despite herself, has kept her anchored in reality, yet she finds herself looking for a means of escape. Will he understand her need to break free and attempt to outrun the wave of memories that threaten to crash down upon her?
Be prepared as this novel sweeps you away as strongly as the undertow at sea. You will find yourself so thoroughly engrossed in Stevie’s recollection, it will feel as if you have lived a lifetime as an invisible onlooker into her life.
The Secret of Lies is the first novel for Barbara Forte Abate, is guaranteed to please, be sure and add this novel to your list of must reads!
