TRUTH

Celia Arlen knows how to keep a small newspaper running. Remembering her father should be easier than making payroll. But as she prepares the pages that will honor him, an old photograph opens a question she cannot set aside.

In Fairhope, Alabama, the reputation Hugh Arlen built is part of his daughter’s inheritance. So is the newspaper’s responsibility to the people whose lives appeared in its pages. Following the record could expose a failure Celia never wanted to see, and another family has already borne its cost.

An intimate contemporary novel about loyalty, grief, and the courage to tell the truth without turning someone else’s pain into your own redemption. What does loving a parent ask of us when the account we inherited is incomplete?
