Powerful. -The Chico Enterprise-Record
When family stories make no sense, a question can take hold: Am I or are the others crazy?
At eighteen, after a turbulent and bewildering childhood, Natalie-dubbed the family liar-sets out to uncover the source of her family's constant chaos. On her own, she traces her family's shifting stories and struggles with a haunting doubt: Was it all my fault?
From multiple-award-winning author Teri Kanefield comes a story about dismantling the past to build a future.
A powerhouse of a novel filled with wit and an appropriate amount of snark, astute observations on the human condition, and a bit of psychology.
-A Good Reed Review
With a lawyer's instinct for the jugular and a wry sense of humor, Kanefield follows Natalie as she searches for a place to belong.
-Abby Bardi, Professor of English at the University of Maryland Global Campus and author of The Book of Fred, The Secret Letters, and Double Take
A vivid and suspenseful portrait of the intricacies of family dynamics as they unfold over several generations.
-Laura Fochtmann, MD, Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry, Stony Brook University
The Family Liar showcases Teri Kanefield's talent as a writer.
-Tammy Montgomery, former philosophy professor and Associate Vice Chancellor for Instruction, Los Rios Community College District (retired)
A compelling story of a girl who desperately wants to be loved by her family, but never at the expense of her integrity.
-William Witteman, librarian
Every page pulled me forward.
-David Gray, social psychologist
The Family Liar will make you mad, sad, and hopeful all at once. If you've ever experienced family challenges, you will relate to this story.
-Elizabeth Zirk-Wyatt, teacher, reading specialist, and avid reader
