Public Lies is the story of a woman who chooses to take her children and flee her marriage to start a brand new life. Reality sets in when her children begin to question their father’s whereabouts and she realizes she cannot continue to hide from her past. She decides to return home and face her problems, which include dealing with her abusive husband who wants nothing more than to avenge her for leaving him and disappearing with their children.
“This novel allows the reader an insider’s view of turmoil, a mother’s love and her struggle to do what she thinks is right,” says Youngerman. “It also delves into what the world perceives as healthy relationships, some of which are far from that.”
Fortunately for Nancy, the emotionally distressed mother, her family and a close friend keep her from losing her mind and possibly her children. Their support enables her to keep fighting for her children’s custody and to stand up to her demanding husband.
“Public Lies is about courage, the depth of love and the strength of a mother,” says Youngerman. “But most of all, it’s about the millions of victims who feel trapped, confused, hurt and alone. These men and women need to know they have options and that help is available.”
