Surviving the Truth
SURVIVING THE TRUTH, Sharon Coleman Monroes first novel, is about Laura,
a 50-something woman who discovers family secrets, loses her husband, wins
some cash and learns that helping others isnt as easy as she thought it would be.
The family secrets shatter the idyllic image she and her sister Susan had about
their childhood in Kerrville, Texas. The loss of her husband in the mountains of
Wyoming shatters her confidence in herself and reality shatters her ideas about
giving to others.
Laura and Susan begin a journey to expose the secrets, come to terms with the
loss of Lauras husband, James, and discover that throwing money at problems
doesnt necessarily solve them. Chocolate and Pinot Noir take the edge off their
problems but that combination comes with its own set of difficulties.

Amazing!!
I found this book in a hotel lobby in Cripple Creek, CO on my vacation. I downloaded to my kindle and read it every second I could find. Could not put it down. It was an amazing book that made me cry, laugh and have many other emotions. Very well done.

When Good Intentions Meet Hard Realities...
In "Surviving the Truth," Sharon Monroe takes the reader on Laura's emotional journey through family secrets and personal loss. It's a story about finding strength when life gets tough. The author writes in a way that's easy to understand but still makes you think. Even though some parts of the story might feel familiar, the book's honesty about real-life struggles makes it worth reading. It's a touching look at bouncing back, learning who you are, and accepting life's ups and downs. Recommended.
