Life in an urban gang infested neighborhood can be challenging for the most stalwart

citizen. For a single mother trying to raise two adolescent boys in the midst of the

strife and violence, the pressures and vicissitudes of just living can be

overwhelming. The Liar's Gift tells a tale that is all too common in everyone's

life, but the effect of deception is more devastating for some than others. Whether

the ruse is perpetrated on the sophisticated socialite or on the less experienced

debutante, whether it is played out in the urban confines of a city or in a spacious

rural setting, the outcome is still the same. In this saga, the victim, a woman who

categorically falls somewhere in between the two, is the unwitting target of the one

who can deceive us all.
