Description
Bestselling author Patti Callahan Henry is back with a powerful novel about the stories we tell and the people we trust.
Eve
and Cooper Morrison are Savannah’s power couple. They’re on every
artistic board and deeply involved in the community. She owns and
operates a letterpress studio specializing in the handmade; he runs a
digital magazine featuring all things southern gentlemen. The perfect
juxtaposition of the old and the new, Eve and Cooper are the beautiful
people. The lucky ones. And they have the wealth and name that comes
from being part of an old Georgia family. But things may not be as good
as they seem. Eve’s sister, Willa, is staying with the family until she
gets "back on her feet." Their daughter, Gwen, is all adolescent
rebellion. And Cooper thinks Eve works too much. Still, the Morrison
marriage is strong. After twenty-one years together, Eve and Cooper know
each other. They count on each other. They know what to expect. But
when Cooper and Willa are involved in a car accident, the questions
surrounding the event bring the family close to breaking point. Sifting
between the stories—what Cooper says, what Willa remembers, what the
evidence indicates—Eve has to find out what really happened. And what
she’s going to do about it. A riveting story about the power of truth, The Stories We Tell will open your eyes and rearrange your heart.

Praise for The Stories We Tell…
“Book clubs rejoice—your next pick is here! THE STORIES WE TELL unfolds in surprising ways; Patti Callahan Henry understands the delicate balance of power inside a marriage. They can look so externally perfect they can even fool even the people living inside them... for a little while. I loved her portrayal of a strong woman who isn’t afraid to be successful, even when others find it threatening, and who is bold enough to seek the truth, even when living inside the lies is safer and more comfortable.”
–Sara Gruen, New York Times bestselling author of Water for Elephants and Ape House
"Patti Callahan Henry seamlessly combines mystery, family love, and personal journey all in one engrossing tale. From the intriguing beginning to the touching ending, The Stories We Tell is filled with the warmth, heart and compassion that have become the trademark of her novels." --Diane Chamberlain, author of Necessary Lies
