Merryn's first instinct is to flee in order to protect her nine-year-old daughter, and the only place that feels safe enough is her mother's beautiful, isolated home in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Merryn's mother, the redoubtable Bibi, always said to her as a child, When you tell a lie, make sure you keep it as close to the truth as possible, because it will be easier to remember. Ironically, from the moment Merryn arrives, she is forced into twisting the truth--about how much she knew of her husband and his shady business affairs; about her own secret lovers; and most importantly, that she is beginning to doubt the one person who has always been the greatest influence in her life: her mother.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The situation worsens when two FBI agents show up and begin to ask Merryn questions about her husband's business, which only intensifies her need to continue lying. While Merryn's perfect world begins to crumble around her, she must decide whether or not she can face the most painful reality of all--that she has been lying to herself her entire life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781617753503\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 8.3 Inches, Length: 5.7 Inches, Weight: 0.85 Pounds, Width: 0.9 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e en\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kaylie Jones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53801770713395,"sku":"9781617753503","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/27297263482763.jpg?v=1785979635","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/the-anger-meridian","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
