What if one lie-meant to protect-becomes the very thing that tears everything apart?
In A Lie Can Hurt, Stony Harris delivers a poignant and powerful story about the silent damage that deception can cause. At the heart of the novel lies a tightly knit family, where love runs deep, but secrets run deeper. A well-intentioned lie, told in a moment of fear or desperation, becomes the quiet earthquake that shakes their world for years to come.
As time passes, trust erodes, and emotional walls are built. The characters grapple with guilt, shame, and the haunting consequences of what was never said. Through shifting perspectives and raw introspection, the novel examines how unspoken truths shape relationships-and how confronting the past is the only way forward.
With prose that is both lyrical and deeply human, A Lie Can Hurt is an unforgettable exploration of forgiveness, the weight of silence, and the high cost of shielding others from the truth. It is a novel for anyone who has loved fiercely, lost painfully, and hoped for healing in the aftermath of heartbreak.
