The bond between sisters can be unbreakable - or unbearable Nineteen-year-old Beth recounts to a court-appointed psychiatrist the events leading to the disappearance of her 7-year-old sister. Troubled and isolated after her mother's desertion and the violent death of her father, Beth clings to her younger sister Denny. A sharp-tongued, cunning child who seems to wield uncanny control over Beth, Denny, believed to be mute and mentally deficient, is kept hidden at home. To Beth, however, she demonstrates uncanny abilities. When Beth's boyfriend suddenly dies under mysterious circumstances, her fragile grasp on reality begins to slip.
What really happened? And why does Denny always seem to know more than she should? Beth's loyalty begins to waiver. She needs to escape Denny, to be rid of her once and for all, but she swears she does not know what happened to her little sister. As secrets emerge and puzzle pieces begin to fall into place, a shocking revelation changes everything. Small Deception explores the depths of human behavior, the power of family ties, and the limits of understanding in this riveting novel of suspense and intrigue.
