A powerfully moving novel of family
love, loyalty, honesty and dishonesty by
the author of Safekeeping and A Fragile
Peace. ""
White Lies is Jonellen Heckler s story
of Sterling, Roz and Quinn, three sisters
close in age but not in temperament, told
through letters they write and receive,
from their college days to adulthood.
In 1963 Sterling, the oldest, starts the
chain of correspondence when she inar-
ties, not out of love, but out of a desire to
be a wife and mother. One at a time, her
sisters leave home, Roz to a clandestine
existence that will haunt her years later,
Quinn to a budding, exhilarating career
as an investigative reporter.
As they write back and forth we see life
at its most intimate--the thrill of new
love, unquenchable ambition, outrageous
success and white lie aftcr white he told
to preserve relationships. For the sisters
come of age in the 60s and 70s, a time of
such upheaval that personal decisions
become political statements that threaten to destroy the bond belween the three
women--if not for the little white lies
they tell.But as Sterling, Roz and Quinn
learn, all lies, nO matter how small, come
with a price.
White Lies is a remarkable portrait of
family life as it really is, by a novelist of
uncommon perception and integrity.
