About the Book

Dive into three intertwined stories, each a testament to the power of secrets and lies. The narratives are bound by a common thread of mystery and revelation, keeping readers engaged until the very end.

Lies and Secrets

The opening novella, Lies and Secrets, is a poignant tale of Gwen, who finds herself pregnant after being drugged and raped at a gathering. With no knowledge of the father's identity, she keeps her secret and gives away her son. Years later, secrets about her own parentage propel her on a search that threatens to unravel her life.

Greenlaw masterfully weaves a story of strength and vulnerability, as Gwen navigates her past while trying to protect her family from the truth. This compelling narrative explores the lengths one goes to keep their secrets buried, and the consequences when they resurface.

Why Kids Kill Kids

The second story, Why Kids Kill Kids, is narrated by a mother who comes dangerously close to losing her daughter to a violent young man. As she struggles to protect her child, she embarks on a quest to understand the reasons behind the escalating violence among youth.

Greenlaw delves into the psyche of both the mother and her daughter's assailant, offering readers a profound understanding of the complexities of teenage behavior and societal influences. This narrative is a compelling exploration of maternal love, fear, and determination.

A Matter of Conscience

The final story, A Matter of Consense, is told from the perspective of a nurse at a secret abortion clinic who takes it upon himself to rescue late-term abortion infants left to die in the garbage. His actions lead him down a path of deception and lies as he tries to protect his new family.

Greenlaw presents a challenging and thought-provoking narrative that explores themes of morality, ethics, and the lengths one would go to protect those they love. This story is a testament to the power of personal conviction and its consequences.
