Secrets and Lies

By Rhonda McKnight
Secrets and Lies by Rhonda McKnight digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

In her debut novel, Secrets and Lies, Rhonda McKnight delivers unforgettable characters and page turning drama when a couple whose troubled marriage is pushed to its limits amidst secrets, lies and an enemy set on revenge.

Faith Morgan is struggling with her faith. Years of unhappiness due to poor communication and neglect leave her doubting God will ever fix her marriage. The trust in her husband, Jonah, is shattered deeply when she discovers he's kept the childhood death of his twin brother a secret. When a coworker accuses him of sexual harassment, she begins to wonder if she really knows him at all, and if it's truly in God's will for them to stay married.

Pediatric cardiologist Jonah Morgan is obsessed with one thing, his work. The death of his brother has intensified his desire to heal children at any cost, even his family. When a nurse on the job blindsides him with a sexual harassment charge, Jonah finds himself at a crossroads in his life. He must decide whether he will continue to allow the memories of his brother to haunt him, or find healing and peace in a God he shut out long ago.

“The title of this book is exactly what it was...secrets and lies. Faith and Jonah are a married couple who are experiencing a turbulent 10th year of marriage. Jonah is a workaholic; however, his wife is oblivious to his constant drive to work as hard as he does. Faith is a stay at home wife who is frustrated and feels like a single mother. Their arguments are filled with low blows, broken promises and snide remarks. Only the power of God can help them, but they both have to turn to Him. I love the advice from both of their mothers, Christian women who trust in the Lord and try to instill those same values in their children. Both Faith and Jonah had to take a look in the mirror to see their faults, especially when Jonah's upstanding career and reputation was at risk. This is a great that shows that communication and trust must take place in any relationship. Both partners must be able to express themselves, whether the news is good or bad. That same news may just draw you closer as you weather the storm together. Great read!”
“It took me awhile to get into this book...The first half of the book is very detailed and gives you background on the characters but it was a LOT of information. You need it later and I'm not sure it could have been left out, but I was just ready to get to the nitty gritty. When I did though...boy oh boy! There was a lot going on and sadly...some things that were kept secret far too long. Lots of healing to be done but it was a great story once i got through the beginning...First read by Ms. Mcknight...not the last though...”
