Amanda Hollister is an expert liar.
That’s what happens when you’re raised by a professional con artist. At sixteen, Amanda and her mother have lived in nearly a dozen states and assumed even more fake names. In their world, lying is the most basic survival skill.
But when the mother-daughter duo moves to the quiet town of Sunnyville, Texas, everything changes. For the first time, Amanda starts to fit in. She falls in love, makes real friends, and begins to like this authentic version of herself- a version that isn’t always lying. Then, the unthinkable happens: Sunnyville is rocked by a kidnapping. Instead of investigating the incident, local authorities close the case. Amanda is convinced this is because the victim is a woman of color. Determined to find the missing woman, Amanda urges her friends to help her hunt down the kidnapper. After all, Amanda knows how criminals think better than anyone. But as she and her friends dive deeper into the investigation, Amanda realizes she’s walking a razor-thin line. One truth too many and she’ll accidentally reveal who she really is- a girl who has been lying about her past. After building a comfortable, new life for herself, Amanda must decide: Will I keep protecting the secrets that keep me and Mom safe? Or am I finally ready to stop lying? The truth will set you free... if it doesn't get you caught first. |
