A Novel of Environmental Intrigue and Personal Healing
In the Skagit Valley, gateway to the Pacific Northwest wilderness, four victims of a toxic waste cover-up must face their own “white lies” to stop the perpetrator. This is a story of a small town dealing with issues of love, deception, and greed. Color of Lies exposes the weaknesses and strengths of individuals who wisely come together to restore the balance of their lives and that of the community.
Abbe reunites two characters from her first novel, River of Angels.
Author: Abbe Rolnick lives with her husband, Jim Wiggins, on twenty acres in Skagit County, WA. She was a closet writer until, at 16, she found a tree to climb and view the world. Poetry and stories followed. A book store owner in Puerto Rico, she was one of the first members of Village Books team over 30 years ago. Now she runs a healthy foods restaurant, writes, travels, gardens and enjoys life.
