Mike and Mandy August planned to have kids, but only gave birth. To a lie!
One so well guarded, they almost believe it themselves. Now they live with their two terrific kids in a big white colonial with a tennis court and a mortgage.
Suddenly, it all starts to fall apart.
And the secret they’ve harbored for a dozen years, threatens to rip them apart. What are they hiding? Or protecting? The questions propel Mike August on a strange odyssey, from Connecticut to Los Angeles, to San Francisco, and into the mountains of Colorado.
The answers, and the incredible scheme Mike devises make up the plot of this gripping first novel. It is a sensitive, exciting story of what can happen to a decent family when tragedy strikes, secrets revealed and lives peeled apart, for all the world to see.
It is a beautifully written book. But more than that, it is a story that will take you beyond its words, and into the lives of its sharply drawn characters.
