-- As she approached her 18th birthday, Debney Nichole Armstrong was preparing for the beautiful future until her plans were torn to shreds. During the chaos of a romantic dinner turned teen party, Debney learned of the death of her family, slept with a few guys, and topped it all off by ending up pregnant. In one horrible night she learned her past was a fabric of lies and none of her friends were true. Yes, sometimes relationships in families end tragically. People leave; parents die, bullies come around, and lives change. But does it all have to bring out the skeletons in the closet? What she really needed to know was: Did her mother contribute to the 'accident'? Who is the man repeatedly mentioned in her mother's journals? Where were the bodies of her ten year old twin brothers, and Who is the father of the child she now carries? No matter what the answers are, Debney knows, nothing will ever be the same. **As an added bonus, Debney shares more through entries in her online journal dna-bloodtiesandlies.blogspot.com/
