Lies Have No Memory (PB) (2020)

"There were so many lies I told and lived by. In my self-imposed delusions I was blinded. I couldn't see that everything I ever needed; I already have. The deceit I webbed for my family, only betrayed me, almost to my own death. I couldn't remember what happened to me while I continued to bathe in my lies. It wasn't until I was able to accept the truth about myself, that I was able to piece all the broken pieces together. See the truth is, lies have no memory, no memory of truth; but in my truths I can remember how wonderful a life I already have." - Lamont

In LIES HAVE NO MEMORY, first time author Yvonne Dean handles the topic of family bigotry, generational lies, and spoon-fed hate head on. She does so through a cast of characters who are enraging, tragically authentic, broken, searching, and faced with the opportunity to change or remain trapped in generational racial dogmas. Will a family on the brink choose forgiveness? Will their fears challenge the adage that love always conquers hate?
