Two women who couldn't be more different form a friendship that will alter both their fates. When Ali Mather blows into town, breaking all the rules and breaking hearts (despite the fact that she is pushing forty), she also makes a mark on an unlikely family. Almost against her will, Jeanne Cross feels drawn to this strangely vibrant woman, a fascination that begins to infect Jeanne's "perfect" husband and their teenage son. At the heart of Ali and Jeanne's friendship are deep-seated emotional needs, vulnerabilities they have each been recording in their diaries. Ali also senses another kind of vulnerability: she believes someone has been entering her house when she is not at home--and not with the usual intentions. What this burglar wants is nothing less than a piece of Ali's soul. When a murderer strikes and Jeanne's son is arrested, we learn that the key to the crime lies in the diaries of two very different women; but only one of them is telling the truth. A chilling tour of troubled minds, <u>The Liar's Diary</u> signals the launch of an immensely talented new novelist who knows just how to keep her readers guessing. 1493790 2007 The Liar's Diary total:250|5:73|4:76|3:61|2:25|1:15| 250 917 486 89 5 5 false false Sat Mar 22 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Feb 10 03:20:48 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 22 15:48:00 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 3 false false Thu Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Jun 20 10:22:55 -0700 2007 Fri Jun 22 06:06:03 -0700 2007
