Lillian Linden is a liar. On the surface, she looks like a brave survivor of a plane crash. But she's been lying to her family, her friends, and the whole world since rescue helicopters scooped her and her fellow survivor, Dave Hall, off a deserted island in the South Pacific. Missing for almost two years, the castaways are thrust into the spotlight after their rescue, becoming media darlings overnight. But they can't tell the real story--so they lie. The public is fascinated by the castaways' saga, but Lillian and Dave must return to their lives and their spouses. Genevieve Randall--a hard-nosed journalist and host of a news program--isn't buying it. She suspects Lillian's and Dave's explanations about the other crash survivors aren't true. And now, Genevieve's determined to get the real story, no matter how many lives it destroys. In this intriguing tale of survival, secrets, and redemption, two everyday people thrown together by tragedy must finally face the truth...even if it tears them apart.

"Couldn't finish these. Between the plot holes, the forced drama, and the one dimensional characters, it was work to even get to 35%.<br/>Spoilers ahead.<br/>How in the world do you try and say that someone worships their child, but cuts all contact with them when they get sent to prison? To the point of not knowing that they had another child born?? He's such a good dad that he's out of prison for several days before he even mentions going to see the family he abandoned? Don't get me started on their incredibly pitiful search for Carrie that suddenly only has any leads once her dad is out. Carrie was such a great mom that she kept her kid with her in that environment for 10 freaking years when she knew she could get him to his dad? Agnes could sneak out and show up to the compound but not try and get help, and couldn't give the guys any pointers on finding Carrie until they are able to pinpoint the house?? Yeah, no, more plot holes than anything I've ever read."
