TRUTH BE TOLD (A Novel) is the story of one woman's personal and spiritual journey to overcome the consequences of her husband's dark secret. TRUTH BE TOLD is the story of two sisters, Grace and Starlight. Grace Monroe has it all - a wonderful husband, loving daughters, and a booming career in politics. Newly elected to the city council in Los Angeles on a Christian platform, Grace is determined to put the past behind her and forge ahead to a bright future.

Grace's whole world is turned upside-down when she discovers that her husband has a child by another woman - a shocking secret that could ruin the glowing career Grace worked so hard to build. At the same time, Grace finds herself in conflict with her older sister, Starlight. Starlight is a motivational/inspirational speaker whose good intentions are mixed with unscrupulous methods. To Grace, Starlight is little more than a false prophet and she wants nothing to do with her sister.

As one sister's star begins to rise, the other's falls. But as the sisters move forward on their individual journeys, it doesn't take them long to discover that all that matters is God's love for them and the bond they share as sisters.
