The Lies We Bury (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781734940985)

Some Secrets are Better Left Buried

The world begins to unravel for the Phillips family when their neighbor's dog drops a weathered human jawbone at Dylan's feet. What at first seems like a bizarre, isolated incident quickly escalates, casting shadows over their quiet rural town. Tragedies have mounted in recent months-deaths that seem to point toward something darker-and the Phillips family can no longer ignore the unspoken guilt that haunts their home.

At the center of this uncertainty stands a quiet drifter who takes on temporary work at the family's struggling farm. With each passing day, his presence begins to heal the brokenness he finds: a gruff, alcoholic father; a wife weighed down by anxiety; and two daughters whose peculiar behaviors isolate them from the world. Where others might turn away, the drifter stays, determined to guide the family through their darkest hour.
