Excerpt
Chapter 3
I don’t know how this decision was made, but I got to visit my sister’s real father. My sister didn’t go. It was the summer before I turned ten. I was getting deeply involved with sex, or things of a sexual nature were happening to me more. The experience was special to me because I really liked this girl. If the circumstances were different, something could have become of this relationship.

Too True For Lies is the type of book I love. It forces you to think outside of the box - it forces you to question what you have believed to be true and challenges you to think back and realize that you are who you are today because of the thoughts, emotions and ideas that you created/picked up and felt as a young child.
Being a child means that you are at the mercy of every adult around you - whether you are consciously thinking things or not.
The story is very well written with beautiful prose that made me want to reread certain passages. However, the strength of this storyline is definitely the fact that you will not be able to read this book without thinking of your own life - and, at times, even missing and mourning that young child that you were - innocent with so much ahead of you - had you known.
If you like to read books that out of the ordinary, that take an ordinary subject and turns it on its ear, then this is the book for you.
