Betrayed by someone close to her—someone still unknown—she was sent to the dark of a government prison and forced to make a terrible choice that would haunt her to this day.Now, decades later, Father Anselm peels back years of history, decades of secrets, a half-century of lies, in order to expose a truth that victim and torturer would keep hidden. A perceptive examination of guilt and redemption, The Day of the Lie is a gripping, intricate mystery.
