Where Secrets Lie is an exploration of one family’s reliance on secrets, how those secrets affect their relationships and alter the directions their lives take, and where those secrets all began.

Sara is the older of two sisters. Her marriage is in trouble, and she only has herself to blame. Everyday Sara takes a birth control pill even though she and her husband, David, are trying to have a baby. When David finds the pills and confronts her with them, Sara must face her own unresolved guilt about a pregnancy David knows nothing about.

Katie is Sara’s younger sister. Her girlfriend, Emily, is tired of pretending they are just roommates whenever they are around Katie’s parents. After all, they are candid about living together as a couple with everyone else. Enough is enough. Problem is, Katie cannot muster up enough courage to defy her mother’s behavioral boundaries. That is, at least, not openly.

Sara and Katie’s mother, Lee, spends her life deploying secrets in order to protect her loved ones not only from difficult truths, but also from the prejudices they elicit. In spite of the torment her own secret laden past causes her, Lee raises her daughters to repress inconvenient truths.

Set in Colorado, Where Secrets Lie shifts between the unique foothills community of Boulder, the mile high city of Denver, and the majestic Rocky Mountains as it moves from the sisters’ stories to their mother’s story weaving them all together and merging each woman’s past with her present circumstances.

From the Author:

My next novel, Whoever You Are, is a stand alone story, but it features the main characters from Where Secrets Lie and provides insights into how their lives progress.

From the reviewers:

Where Secrets Lie is a quick read. I began it yesterday and finished it today. The quality of the writing and story-telling is solid. Most of the secrets I was able to quickly guess before they were explicitly stated (though one completely surprised me). That is acceptable, as this book is not a mystery. Although the story is compelling, the most valuable aspect of the book is the development of the characters. For a novella, it was well done and in a few short pages, I felt I knew and understood the characters well enough for the scope of the story.  –  William C. Sain

This was a well written story about the secrets that are within a family. Nicely written! — A. Harris

This books is very well written and moves you easily from past to present once you realize that is the intent of the author. The characters are well-thought-out and true-to-life and the story keeps you interested from the beginning. While the ending may seem a bit abrupt, this book is definitely a worthwhile read. I enjoyed reading this novel and look forward to more books by Donna Marie Lanheady. – Dee’s Reading Room
