Early Reviewers

"Raw in its emotions and psychologically astute." — The Chico Enterprise-Record



At eighteen, after a turbulent and bewildering childhood, Natalie, dubbed the family liar, sets out to uncover what kept her family in constant chaos. She traces her family’s shifting stories and struggles with a single, devastating doubt: “Was it all my fault?”



From multiple-award-winning author Teri Kanefield comes a 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
