Description
A passionate love affair. A happy young family. And a successful 30-year marriage.
But which one will be destroyed by the truth?
Sophie and her sister, Jess, grow up knowing that a few little lies are necessary: You look great. It was only a joke. He's just stressed. It doesn't matter. Everything's fine.
Everybody does it, don't they?
But what about the big lies - about love, power and money? When Sophie discovers her father's secret, and Jess falls in love with the charismatic Jake, Sophie has to look at her own life again. Should she keep quiet or tear her family apart with the truth?
And if she tells, who will pay the ultimate price?
