    About this ebook

    In a world where black and white
    has turned a muddy shade of grey...

    What would you do if you discovered the path you had chosen for your life had been based upon lies?

    "She'd had the dream again, that recurring nightmare which she could never quite put out of her mind."
    Marah Edom had acquired all she'd ever dreamed of . . . the job, the car, the Malibu beach home. Yet, all that was overshadowed by a darkness that threatened to consume her.
    In one mind-altering moment, Marah is forced to confront her own acquiescence as she faces the demons which have haunted her for years.

    "Deeply impacting and shocking in its sincerity--your very beliefs will be shaken to the core after reading this novel.
    This may be one of the best books I have read this year." ~Fresh Fiction

    "[A] highly engaging tale--. The plot will bring you in and keep you reading until the very last page. Muted Grey is the first novel from Dianna Young, and by all means a great first book that will likely be followed by many more." ~Book Reviews Weekly

    "I was gripped-- from the very first page. A heartbreaking tale which had me crying without shame with a box full of tissues. A real tear jerker! --A brilliant read . . . This book really hits the nail!" ~Zaira Rizvi
