About this ebook

To anyone watching, Drayton Michaels, Ritz Carlton and Jules Warner are a perfect example of sisterhood and family. They share big things easily: PIN codes, spare keys, and secret hiding places of emergency cash. Rarely do they share or acknowledge that there are things that keep them awake, walk in circles til dawn, and cry out Jesus in the middle of the night. Regardless of how well they think they know each other, they dont know each others secrets. SECRETS ARE LIESchronicles the lives of Drayton, Ritz and Jules over the course of one year. The book is an unfolding series of life-changing events that threaten to undermine the friendship of three accomplished women. TheirSECRETS ARE LIES peppered with deceit and lead each of them on a roller coaster ride through a river of disappointment, heartache, and broken promises.

Jules survives infidelity only to lose the love of her life. Similarly, doctors diagnoses pull a loose thread from the carefully stitched lives of Ritz and Drayton. Their worlds unravel as each sit on the brink of losing whats important. They unsuccessfully attempt to take it all in stride knowing most or all of what theyve done cannot be undone. There are things about Jules her friends will never know that she does or has done. There are places Ritz can never go again or admit that shes ever been. There are things big and small that Drayton believes will forever remain secret.

Initially, they appear to be from three different worlds with different sets of problems, but they are just like everyone else who is just trying to get through life. They eventually realize that SECRETS ARE LIESand find strength in a true sisterhood that helps them believe that the way of behaving normally is behaving as if everything matters.
