{"product_id":"lies-that-bind-9781957537924","title":"Lies that Bind","description":"Lorelei Keyes and Adele Hughes are content, if not entirely happy, running a sham \u003cstrong\u003eseance\u003c\/strong\u003e business in the English tourist town of Matlock Bath. Lorelei's business savvy and Adele's gift for mimicry provide for their basic needs, but the customers are not the only ones deceived. With the arrival of a \u003cstrong\u003emysterious\u003c\/strong\u003e visitor, Viola, the couple finds their long-held secrets under threat of exposure and their quiet life upended.  Viola pulls the pair onto a transatlantic crossing bound for Adele's homeland of New York, and the turbulent seas are nothing compared to the treacherous and tawdry happenings aboard the ship. Adele's gifts run much deeper than mimicry. Lorelei's past is more depraved than she lets on. The couple faces the end of their romance, and may stand to lose much more than that if they cannot discern Viola's true intentions before reaching their final destination.  Not for the faint of heart, Lies That Bind challenges its readers as it investigates \u003cstrong\u003epower dynamics\u003c\/strong\u003e, the nature of power, and the ways it can be expressed-whether by domination or self-acceptance; treachery or honesty. Often quite graphic in their depictions of sex and violence, Knowles and Yates interrogate the line between kink and abuse, exploring the nuance of each.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brigids Gate Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781957537924\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.54d","brand":"Rae Knowles, April Yates","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43600439935157,"sku":"9781957537924","price":13.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_896383c3-c6d6-48b1-a35c-7a4a977922ad.jpg?v=1707208950","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/lies-that-bind-9781957537924","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
