Excerpt
First thing that morning Carol, her attorney, Percy Jones, and I went down to Sheriff Kramer's temporary office at City Hall, so Carol could record her statement. Before she gave her statement, she wanted to make a deal.
Her attorney was known to the community of Pine Bluff as the crotchety old fart, because he had been the only attorney in Pine Bluff going back as far as anyone could remember.

Everyone has family secrets and skeletons in their closets, but for David and Jack Dover these family secrets are about to become known along with the hidden lies. They believed their mother had been committed to a mental hospital when they were young boys, they were raised by their father and grandparents. When their father died the course of their life changed forever. Their father left his journal to the boys with the request read it. He had recorded his thoughts and memories in his journal, including the truth about their mother.
Family Secrets or Lies is the first book for Ms. Steever and it was very hard to put down. She draws the reader right into the middle of the plot along with the characters. The book is so realistic that I felt as if I was reading nonfiction. Highly recommended.
