"Secrets so vile can only wreck the lives of innocent people."
Live To Tell
Posted: February 17, 2010
Congressman Garvey Quinn has his sights set on the White House. He has prepared for the presidency since he was a young man. His wife and his two daughters help paint the perfect picture of a loving family man. Yet, Garvey has secrets -- and secrets in politics are a dangerous thing.
Elsa and Brett have moved several times, running from or separating themselves from memories that cause extreme pain. Years ago, someone stole their son from their yard. They have never found him. Elsa seeks counseling and together, Elsa and Brett have been paying a private investigator for over 14 years in the hopes that some thread of evidence of what happened will be found. They just exist from day to day.
When Lauren's daughter loses her stuffed animal in the New York Train station and Lauren's ex-husband is asked to get it from lost and found, a lack of care on his part results in him claiming the wrong stuffed animal. This small careless task causes a set of reactions to careen out of control and place Lauren's children in grave danger. The lack of communication between Lauren and her ex-husband perpetuate the events of this error, and the horror that follows leaves only tragedy in its wake.
Wendy Corsi Staub has created strong, emotionally drawn characters who will sweep you up and draw you into LIVE TO TELL. There is not a moment you will be able to put this book down without thinking about what is going to happen next. I thought the plot was deliciously written to carry the thrilling story to the last sentence. Fantastic!

All Lauren wants is to protect her children from the pain of her messy divorce. But when their father goes missing, a case of mistaken identity puts all their lives in danger, and a stealthy predator lurks in the shadows, watching . . . waiting . . .
Secrets can kill . . .
Lauren is about to uncover an unfathomable truth—a truth this cold-blooded mastermind would never let her live to tell . . .
