About this ebook

When the truth is better left unsaid . . .

Bradley Knighton fled to Vancouver nearly twenty years ago. It was the only way to forget the girl he let get away.

Cassandra Knighton hates her husband. He stole her heart and then wasted her best years. But she stayed with him to protect a lie.

Brought together to mourn the death of the family matriarch, old sibling rivalries will resurface, painful memories will reopen tender wounds, and new realities will force every member of the Knighton family to re-examine choices that were made all those years ago.

But it’s that one slip of the tongue by Cassandra during a heated argument that will dig deepest and expose a secret she’d vowed to take to her grave, a truth so unforgivable that it could destroy everyone she loves.

THE LITTLE LIES WE HIDE explores the decisions we make, the secrets we keep, and the regrets we package into convenient little lies that we learn to live with – because doing otherwise would be worse.

Author

Francois Houle

François Houle’s first novel IT HAPPENED TO US spent multiple weeks in 2019 as an Amazon top 100 best seller in two categories. His fiction explores themes that are universal such as family and friendships, love and grief, and anything else that makes us all human. Reviews often refer to his books as “beautifully written,” “heartbreaking and heartwarming,” and “intense and emotional.”François is one of five boys so it’s no surprise that family is a strong theme in his books. A lot of the inspiration for his first two novels IT HAPPENED TO US and BEAUTIFUL MIDNIGHT came from the passing of his father in 2005.François grew up in a small town outside of Montréal, moved to Toronto when he was ten, and currently lives in Ottawa. An avid reader from a young age, he tried to create a comic book when he was twelve, penned hundreds of song lyrics as a teenager, and wrote his first novel in 1985.When he's not writing, he's probably outside doing something around the house or down in his basement workshop, enjoying a little woodworking.If you’d like to stay current with what he’s working on, signup to his Insiders Group and get a free ebook as a thank you: www.francoisghoule.com/your-free-starter-library/
