Lies We Tell Ourselves

by Steena Holmes

Overview

We all have regrets. 

Being identical twins doesn't make you identical in every way. Paige was tired of always waiting for Jessica and even though their Dad's number one rule was you don't walk home alone, Paige was not going to be late for work again all because Jessica was flirting with yet another boy at school. It was time for Paige to put herself first, regardless of the consequences.

We all make mistakes. 

Since her sister's disappearance that day, for the last 12 years, Paige has devoted her life to helping find other missing children. By working with an organization to find these children, Paige always thinks she's one step closer to finding Jessica, until one day, she actually is. Several tips through the hotline come in, one about a smuggling ring right beneath their noses, and another about someone fitting Jessica's description being sighted, and it's all Paige can do to follow protocol and let someone else take the lead.

We all keep secrets.

One call after another leads Paige and her team down a rabbit hole, revealing secrets that hit close to home and leave more questions than answers.

For instance, why was Detective Lindsay, someone who has been helping Paige search for Jessica, found at the scene of a smuggling ring, moments before that tip came in? Not just that, but why was Brian, a volunteer on Paige's team, found in this house with the girls? Who is Detective Meri Amber and what is she doing in Paisley Valley?
And who is the mysterious woman brought into the hospital, and why does everyone keep telling her she's finally safe when she knows for a fact, she's now in even more danger. Someone is trying to kill her and her son is now missing, too.

Told through the eyes of multiple characters from multiple timelines, Lies We Tell Ourselves, travels into the darkest parts of people's souls as you wonder if anyone is capable of telling the truth.

We all tell lies. 

Lies and secrets collide in this page-turning suspense you won't be able to put down, written by the NYT bestselling author who brought you Finding Emma and The Perfect Secret.

About the Author

Growing up as a small town Canadian girl, there wasn't much to do but ride your bike, hang out with friends on the beach and daydream. I always wanted to write but never dreamed it was something I could do as a career. I love to travel and fell in love with the sheep covered hillside, old castles and romantic history of Scotland and England. I dream about waking up in Tuscany and touring small town shops in the south of France with my husband, of placing my toes in the ocean and experiencing history first hand. As a mother with three daughters, I'm learning that teaching them to pursue their dreams is a lasting legacy. I love to wake up to the Rocky Mountains, will forever enjoy the taste of coffee and chocolate and can't imagine the day when a story doesn't unfold in my heart. Living a life with passion and pursuing dreams is a life well lived.

Her latests release - FINDING EMMA is a heart-wrenching story of when devotion borders on obsession, a mother must choose between her family and finding her missing daughter.
