A Fractured Truth

One moment is all it takes to change the course of a life. For successful young jewelry designer Grace Leshansky that moment came when she shot and killed her charismatic con-man husband, Paul Boudreau. Grace never denied the act. She never spoke about the moments just before when her finger tightened around the trigger — when Paul ripped her world apart with one more lie. Or was it a truth? Convicted of manslaughter, she spends seven years in prison. When she’s released, Grace is a woman indelibly changed. She returns to New York City, where she finds her gambler father vanished—maybe dead. Her career, friends and money—all gone. What now? As she struggles to find a way to live with the past and embrace her future, Grace confronts questions she may no longer be brave enough to ask . Almost immediately, danger begins to close in from unexpected directions: Gabriel McCail, a reporter bent on exposing Paul's treacherous life in an insider biography, threatens to stir up the past; and Michael Pyatt, the beautiful boy who loved and left her at seventeen, is back, possibly with information about her father. Will Grace have the courage to face the truth, or will her search jeopardize her newly won freedom and the lives of those few she holds dear? A Fractured Truth is a twisting, highly charged story of love and trust turned inside out for a complex woman who can’t stop believing. ****A Fractured Truth was previously published under the pseudonym Caroline Slate***
