But what comes to light may harbor challenges greater than JoeE has faced yet.

Thus begins a unique, new series of books about secrets, lies, and the damage they cause. It poignantly depicts how deception deteriorates lives like a poison, and hammers home the fact that no one can outrun the truth.
