Life in an urban gang infested neighborhood can be challenging for the most stalwart
citizen. For a single mother trying to raise two adolescent boys in the midst of the
strife and violence, the pressures and vicissitudes of just living can be
overwhelming. The Liar's Gift tells a tale that is all too common in everyone's
life, but the effect of deception is more devastating for some than others. Whether
the ruse is perpetrated on the sophisticated socialite or on the less experienced
debutante, whether it is played out in the urban confines of a city or in a spacious
rural setting, the outcome is still the same. In this saga, the victim, a woman who
categorically falls somewhere in between the two, is the unwitting target of the one
who can deceive us all.
