Описание:
In the Skagit River Valley-gateway to the pristine Pacific Northwest wilderness-vegetation, birds, and people are inexplicitly dying. Does the river carry pollutants from illegal waste sites?
One elderly bully's spiteful lies have trapped her victims in a toxic web:
a former World War II pilot is wheelchair-bound from a youthful accident and sinister secrets.
JoAnne's niece and professional pilot, masks the unresolved pain of childhood abandonment.
a young organic vintner, suspects the rich valley soil has been polluted by undocumented wastes.
a spunky 95- year- old ham radio buff, intercepts curious messages that provide clues to the decades-long cover-up.
Lies, even the little white lies told to protect themselves and each other from the past, suddenly conspire against them as the valley's secrets unravel. Threatened with exposure, the perpetrator resorts to more malicious behavior, and her victims must join with the community to stop her and save the valley. All must face difficult truths to halt the accumulation of more than one kind of toxic behavior.
Color of Lies is a story of challenge and triumph over demons both personal and environmental, inviting us to explore with its characters the nature of truth, trust, and accountability

A novelist muses on maturing, seeking, traveling, and other themes in this collection of short stories and essays. Explorations of whimsy and wisdom take the reader from the basement of a young girl learning about the Holocaust via a repair person, to a literal and psychological deep dive in the Caribbean, to the humble truths of a dung beetle in Africa, and all points in between.
Essays range from a riff on the importance of finding a well-fitting bra to fictional imaginings about a divorc e who seeks healing on her trip to a remote Caribbean island. The challenges of aging figure prominently in two stories: "Knock, Knock" shares the tale of Selma, who is dealing with the dementia of her longtime husband, whose thoughts appear in italicized segments throughout the narrative, and "Country Villa," about a woman visiting her father, Morton, in a nursing home. The author's keen perception and compassion light the way in this diverse assembly of entertaining observational gems.
