Opis

Mike and Mandy August were a happy couple. They married, bought a house and eventually gave birth to a lie so well guarded they almost believed it themselves. Now they live with their two terrific kids in a big white colonial with a tennis court and a mortgage in Westport, Connecticut. Then, their son falls ill and their tranquil existence begins to fall apart. The secret they've harbored for more than a decade threatens to rip their family to shreds. Mike embarks on an odyssey taking him from Connecticut to Los Angeles, then to San Francisco and into the mountain town of Aspen, Colorado seeking answers. The answers and the scheme Mike devises reveal what happens to a decent family when tragedy strikes, baring secrets and peeling apart lives lay-by-layer for all to see. THE AUGUST STRANGERS takes the reader into the lives of characters so finely etched they transcend the words that describe them. They live. Settle into a favorite easy chair to find out who the August Strangers are and what overpowering secret drives them to the brink.
