Review
"
Between the Lies poignantly tells the story of three women who each face different types of betrayal in their personal lives. While a few characters may evoke sympathy from the reader, the role each plays in her own misfortune is made clear. Harris has done a wonderful job at storytelling and character development without being biased in her delivery. Without a doubt, Harris has written a prospective national bestseller." --
Caravan Books and Imports, July 1997Between the Lies is a refreshing look at a standard topic, male-female relationships. The book delves into the lives of three principle characters that are very well written with character flaws that make them more human. Harris doesn't pull any punches with this modern drama. It hits hard and fast with the intensity of the relationships it represents.
Between the Lies straddles the fence of outrageous believability, while remaining more scrupulous than most T.V. talk shows." --

From the Publisher
Between the Lies pinpoints the complexity of male-female relationships. It pushes to the forefront the struggle in attaining love and commitment. L.J. Harris is a new voice in this arena, and still, she tells the story not with a bitter edge, but with compassion. AUTH COMMENT:
Between the Lies is a real and sensible story that describes the disappointment and pain that can result from lies. It's a story that transcends sex and race because men and women of all colors can relate to it and it draws of our understanding of how easily we may be led astray by what we want to believe.
