Produktbeschreibung

In the Skagit River Valley-gateway to the pristine Pacific Northwest wilderness-vegetation, birds, and people are inexplicitly dying. Does the river carry pollutants from illegal waste sites?

One elderly bully's spiteful lies have trapped her victims in a toxic web:

. JoAnne, a former World War II pilot is wheelchair-bound from a youthful accident and sinister secrets.

. Maria, JoAnne's niece and professional pilot, masks the unresolved pain of childhood abandonment.

. Spencer, a young organic vintner, suspects the rich valley soil has been polluted by undocumented wastes.

. Russell, a spunky 95- year- old ham radio buff, intercepts curious messages that provide clues to the decades-long cover-up.

Lies, even the little white lies told to protect themselves and each other from the past, suddenly conspire against them as the valley's secrets unravel. Threatened with exposure, the perpetrator resorts to more malicious behavior, and her victims must join with the community to stop her and save the valley. All must face difficult truths in order to halt the accumulation of more than one kind of toxic behavior.

Color of Lies is a story of challenge and triumph over demons both personal and environmental, inviting us to explore with its characters the nature of truth, trust, and accountability.

Praise for Abbe Rolnick's previous novel, River of Angels:

Rolnick weaves a story of tangled relationships and intrigue on a tropical Caribbean island where everyone is struggling, sometimes within themselves, to make a life....This is a great debut novel, and I look forward to her next book.

- Chuck Robinson, Co-Owner of Village Books, Bellingham, WA

Atmospheric, intricately plotted and fast paced, River of Angels is a dive into an exotic, dangerous and sultry world.

- Shelley Ring Diamond- published in Outside, Stanford Magazine, Entertainment Tonight, Los Angeles, CA

Autorenporträt

Abbe Rolnick grew up in the suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland. Her first major cultural jolt occurred at age fifteen when her family moved to Miami Beach, Florida. To find perspective, she climbed the only non-palm tree at her condo complex and wrote what she observed. History came alive with her exposure to Cuban culture. After attending Boston University, she lived in Puerto Rico, where she owned a bookstore. River of Angels flows from her experiences there and is the first novel in her Generations of Secrets series. The second novel in the series, Color of Lies, brings the reader to the Pacific Northwest, where she presently resides. Here she blends stories from island life with characters in Skagit Valley. Founding Stones, the third in the series, will be published in 2019 and continues with characters from her two previous novels. Her recent experiences with her husband's cancer inspired Cocoon of Cancer: An Invitation to Love Deeply (2016). It's a love story that shares intimate tips for caregivers and family. Tattle Tales: Essays and Stories Along the Way (2016) is a compilation of twenty years of writing.
