Tori knows something that Brian doesn't--a family secret revealed by Brian's Aunt Lily in Dublin, Ireland--only to her. A deception so coldly calculated and criminally complete, it has remained hidden for decades as a carefully arranged truth. Tori is determined to unearth the whole story. She takes the opportunity of a business trip to Los Angeles to drive up the coast to Santa Barbara, and there, to investigate the accident that tragically took the lives of two Sage family members in 1962. What Tori finds--yet another well-hidden deception--will rip through the fabric of the family once it becomes known. Yet, if she seeks to "poke the sleeping bear," the Sage family's patriarch, how can she see him punished for what he has done without hurting other family members? As Tori begins her quest to rearrange the truth, she worries that pulling the threads she has worked loose could unravel all of the long-buried secrets in the Sage family.
Autorenporträt
Valerie R. Drees worked for many years in the corporate sphere, buying interior design materials for a bank in Glendale, California. She shifted careers in her mid-30s, becoming a teacher of World History and Geography to exceptional high school girls in Pasadena, California. Upon her relocation to Virginia Beach, Virginia, she continued her teaching career at a community college, offering courses in European History, as well as English as a second language. Until a few years ago, her writing record was tied to her work as a history instructor, including several non-fiction articles for a historical journal, and a local (Virginia Beach) police department history chapbook. Valerie left teaching to write her first novel, The Burden of Truth, a suspense/mystery/thriller published in May 2018 (Austin Macauley, New York). She now devotes herself full time to writing.
