dive into how we define family, what it means to be a mother, and
what it means to grow up Black...beautifully crafted." -JODI
PICOULT "A fantastic story...well-written, timely, and
oh-so-memorable."-Good Morning America "The Kindest Lie is a
layered, complex exploration of race and class." -The Washington
Post Every family has its secrets... It's 2008, and the
inauguration of President Barack Obama ushers in a new kind of
hope. In Chicago, Ruth Tuttle, an Ivy-League educated Black
engineer, is married to a kind and successful man. He's eager to
start a family, but Ruth is uncertain. She has never gotten over
the baby she gave birth to-and was forced to leave behind-when she
was a teenager. She had promised her family she'd never look back,
but Ruth knows that to move forward, she must make peace with the
past. Returning home, Ruth discovers the Indiana factory town of
her youth is plagued by unemployment, racism, and despair. As she
begins digging into the past, she unexpectedly befriends Midnight,
a young white boy who is also adrift and looking for connection.
Just as Ruth is about to uncover a burning secret her family
desperately wants to keep hidden, a heart-stopping incident strains
the town's already searing racial tensions, sending Ruth and
Midnight on a collision course that could upend both their lives.
Powerful and unforgettable, The Kindest Lie is the story of an
American family and reveals the secrets we keep and the promises we
make to protect one another.
