What Lies We Keep

"""What Lies We Keep will captivate fans of writers like Jennifer Weiner, that best-selling expert at writing about family secrets and the ties that bind, but it's Janet Roberts' brilliant and fresh prose, and her big-hearted, messy, real characters that set this work apart. There is no easy ending here, and I'm so grateful for that. Roberts honors the complexity of what it means to be human and flawed, grounded and lost, while giving readers a page-turning tale of love and deception and, ultimately, hope."" -Lori Jakiela, author of They Write Your Name on a Grain of Rice and more ""A moving narrative that shines a spotlight on life's choices. This one will leave you wondering if the grass is really green on the other side."" -Jen Craven, author of The Baby Left Behind ""What Lies We Keep raises powerful questions: Are lies justified if they are made to protect the ones we love? Can success be defined by more than social status and salary? I devoured this creative, twisty story with its flawed but sympathetic characters."" -Jill Caugherty, author of The View from Half Dome and Waltz in Swing Time ""A wonderful book with in-depth and flawed characters as well as a how-will-they-get-out-of-that plot."" -Pamela Stockwell, author of A Boundless Place and The Tender Silver Stars ""A realistic, moving novel of complex relationships, the corrosive power of secrets, and the challenges a couple must face when the things they hold dear are the very things that may tear them apart."" -Maggie Smith, award-winning author of Truth and Other Lies ""Readers will enjoy this evocative exploration of a marriage in crisis as well as behind-the-scenes insights into cybercrime. Don't miss it!"" -Deb Atwood, author of Moonlight Dancer ""With its compelling narrative and relevant themes, this book is sure to captivate readers and leave them pondering the complexities of truth and trust long after they turn that final page. It left me asking, 'What is next for the McCords?'"" -Andrea Kittelson, Cybersecurity Awareness Expert at Rockwell International ""The story flows so naturally and the descriptions are so vivid that one feels right there amidst the action, even if one's never visited Pittsburgh or Montana before. The plot is outstanding. A few lines don't really give this book justice."" -Mora Durante Astrada, Global Head of Security Education and Awareness for Zurich Insurance ""A gripping and emotionally charged novel that explores the complexities of relationships and the power of secrets."" -Claire Hughes, cybersecurity awareness expert ""This is my favorite style of suspense novel: well-developed characters without too much 'fluff.' . . . Both of the main characters are multidimensional and flawed, and there are no easy answers for either of them. I didn't want to put it down, and I'll be looking for more from Janet Roberts."" -April Kline, Pittsburgh resident and avid reader ""What Lies We Keep will captivate fans of writers like Jennifer Weiner, that best-selling expert at writing about family secrets and the ties that bind, but it's Janet Roberts' brilliant and fresh prose, and her big-hearted, messy, real characters that set this work apart.
