others." --Heidi W. Durrow, New York Times bestselling author of

Lines
"I devoured this book. Randy Susan Meyers writes with great empathy
and insight about three distinct women and the unlikely
intersection of their lives. The story will pull you into the

exploration of why we take refuge in the comfort of lies, and what
happens when we dare to release ourselves from their power."

Daughter

unforgettable Meyers smash-hit." - Jenna Blum, New York Times
