About this ebook

Secrets in the Darling family rise to the surface and illusions are shattered in this modern southern story of delusion, attraction, and idiosyncrasy.

 

Will Deborah Darling ever come to terms with her husband's true desires, her best friend's secret, her daughter's true passions, her son's one true love? Well, maybe not. But not seeing the truth can lead to betrayal and what's worse, murder.
