Author Description

Unrequited love, quiet shame, guttural fear are the truths we hide from the world...often from those we love the most. In their second book, The Truth That Can't be Told 2, the writers of the Lake Forest Roundtable explore ideas in short stories and poems about the hidden parts of our humanness-our hearts and minds examined in ways that will move and sometimes embarrass you. Deceit lives in all of us, and this collaborative group takes on the challenge of exposing those guarded truths. The result is exciting, intimate, and daring, but with the power to make us stronger, closer, and more human. You'll delight in stories that range from baseball tales to mysteries, family dramas, war stories, sci-fi, and fantasy, with literary pieces and a collection of poems among them. Whether you laugh out loud or shed a tear, this collection will connect with the hidden something inside each of us.
