What I Saw And How I Lied

When EvieÂ’s father returned home after World War II, the family fell back into its normal life pretty quickly. But Joe Spooner brought more back with him than just good war stories. When movie-star handsome Peter Coleridge, a young ex-GI who served in JoeÂ’s company in postwar Austria, shows up, Evie is suddenly caught in a complicated web of lies that she only slowly recognizes. She finds herself falling for Peter, ignoring the family secrets that surround him--until he mysteriously disappears. Now Evie must find out what happened--and how far sheÂ’ll go to protect her family.
