"Powerful." —The Chico Enterprise Record

When family stories make no sense, a question can take hold: Am I or are the others crazy?

At eighteen, after a turbulent and bewildering childhood, Natalie—dubbed the family liar—sets out to uncover the source of her family’s constant chaos. On her own, she traces her family’s shifting stories and struggles with a haunting doubt: “Was it all my fault?”

From multiple-award-winning author Teri Kanefield comes a compelling story about dismantling the past to build a future.

“A powerhouse of a novel filled with wit and an appropriate amount of snark, astute observations on the human condition, and a bit of psychology.”—A Good Reed Review

“With a lawyer’s instinct for the jugular and a wry sense of humor, Kanefield follows Natalie as she searches for a place to belong. —Abby Bardi, Professor of English at the University of Maryland Global Campus and author of The Book of Fred, The Secret Letters, and Double Take
