Never Tell a Lie

by Hallie Ephron (William Morrow, ISBN 978-0-06-156715-5)

 

Paperback edition (HARPER, ISBN 978-0-06-156716-2)

 

A young couple are about to have their first child. A woman from their past shows up at their yard sale. She goes inside their house, and she never comes out.  Relentlessly fast-paced and disturbingly creepy, it asks how well we know the people we love, and how far we are willing to go to protect the secrets of our past.

Start each day with inspiration from a literary classic. Engaging plot summaries, opening lines, fascinating facts about the book and its author, and what the pundits had to say...it's all there.

 

"I received my copy of The Bibliophile's Devotional, and just paging through it, I know I'm going to love it.  In fact, I was already reading excerpts to my husband.  I can't wait to take it to my librarians' meeting in a couple weeks, and make a few people jealous.  I'm recommending it for their Christmas presents to themselves." -- Lesa Holstine, Librarian
