After the Lie: A gripping novel about love, loss and family secrets

â€˜I just couldn't put it down â€¦ It's not very often when reading a book that you find yourself laughing, crying snotty tears, feeling sick with tension â€¦ Yes, honestly, it really is that good.â€™ Being Anne Reading

â€˜OMG, do I ever like this writer. I don't usually gush â€¦ But rarely have I come across a character that I so instantly identified with â€¦ The acerbic wit is my style. I want to meet and be friends with Lydia Rushfield.â€™ All Words Matter

â€˜An absolutely BRILLIANT read! Oh Gosh I wish I hadnâ€™t finished it so quickly â€¦ sheer perfection â€¦ gripped me like Velcro from the very start and completely enthralled and entertained me right the way through.â€™ Beady Janâ€™s Books

Your past will devastate your family. But your lies could destroy them. What would YOU do?

Sometimes a lie can split your life in two. There is â€œbeforeâ€, and there is â€œafterâ€. Try as you might â€“ you can never go back.

When Lydia was a teenager, she made a decision that ruined her familyâ€™s life. Theyâ€™ve spent the last thirty years living with the consequences and doing their best to pretend it never happened.

Lydiaâ€™s husband, the gorgeous and reliable Mark, and her two teenage children know nothing about that summer back in 1982. And thatâ€™s the way Lydia wants it to stay. The opportunity to come clean is long gone and now itâ€™s not the lie that matters, itâ€™s the betrayal of hiding the truth for so long.

When someone from the past turns up as a parent at the school gates, Lydia feels the life she has worked so hard to build slipping through her fingers. The more desperate she becomes to safeguard her family, the more erratic her behaviour becomes. But when the happiness of her own teenage son, Jamie, hangs in the balance, Lydia is forced to make some impossible decisions. Can she protect him and still keep her own secret â€“ and if she doesnâ€™t, will her marriage and family survive?

From the author of THE ISLAND ESCAPE comes a powerful and heartbreaking story, perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and Diane Chamberlain.
