PINK and Other Lies

By Leslie Johnson

Sisters, Naomi and Adrian, were close growing up. Then Naomi l got pregnant and was shipped away to a home for unwed mothers. No one would tell Adrian where she was. She waited for a letter that never came.

Naomi, facing daily abuse and pressure to give up her child for adoption, wrote letters to her sister, telling her what was going on. She hoped to hear a reassuring word or heartfelt sympathy, anything she could hang on to. It never came.

Adrian's husband became the mayor of the small town they lived in. He was charismatic and a beloved figure in the town. He was adamant about the image his family presented. At the beginning of his thirty-year mayorship, he demanded that Adrian only wear pink. She did, until the day of his funeral. Then she went shopping.

When she found ten unopened letters from Naomi in her husband's desk, she realized that her sister had not shut her out.

Reunited, they hire a private investigator to find the truth.

PINK and Other Lies is the story of two sisters, a stolen daughter, and the letters that survived forty years of silence. Some lies protect. Some destroy. These did both.
