Description

Cybersecurity expert, Ted McCord, has been fired. He risked everything in a game far beyond his control. It’s the last straw for Charlotte McCord, who’s never understood her husband’s addiction to the trappings of corporate life—the titles, the money, and the promise of visible success that he prefers over his family’s ranch.

Six months earlier, Ted did something unthinkable to gain a promotion and hid his actions from his wife. Now the guilty co-conspirators have turned the tables on him. Ted claims he’s innocent, but Charlotte leaves, taking their daughter. As Ted works to clear his name, Charlotte leans on her friends. But one friend has a secret that shocks Charlotte, upending everything she believes about Ted. Unsure who to trust, she jettisons from hurt and anger to the tempting promise of solace in the arms of a handsome River Rescue officer.

Stretching from Pittsburgh’s urban skyline to the beautiful ranch country of Montana, WHAT LIES WE KEEP is a moving story of corporate ambition that shakes the very foundations of a marriage and asks: What happens when we

embrace the life we think we should have, rather than the life we have?

Advance Praise

“What Lies We Keep will captivate fans of writers like Jennifer Weiner, that best-selling expert at writing about family secrets and the ties that bind, but it’s Janet Roberts’ brilliant and fresh prose, and her big-hearted, messy, real characters that set this work apart. There is no easy ending here, and I’m so grateful for that. Roberts honors the complexity of what it means to be human and flawed, grounded and lost, while giving readers a page-turning tale of love and deception and, ultimately, hope.”

–Lori Jakiela, author of THEY WRITE YOUR NAME ON A GRAIN OF RICE

“A moving narrative that shines a spotlight on life’s choices. This one will leave you wondering if the grass is really green on the other side.”

–Jen Craven, author of THE BABY LEFT BEHIND
