Turning a humorous but insightful lens on the value of truth - within families and within a community - Pam Walker steps off the mayoral campaign trail to return to her childhood home, where she discovers that she is not "alone" in the world. A quirky guise lures an unsuspecting sister to Montis Inn where new relationships are tested, and a husband becomes dangerously lost in Lumby. Pam also learns what happens when post-truth politics plow down Main Street, proving that words are only as worthy as those who speak them. Her close friend Caroline Ross finds the courage to live again after a traumatic end to her marriage, while publisher Dennis Beezer faces an unwanted transformation of his newpaper, The Lumby Lines. And at Saint Cross Abbey, the monks' religious doctrine is challenged when they are called upon to protect the brother of a corrupt politician who threatens all that is good in Lumby. -- back cover.
