Jessica was a dedicated woman to both God and her handsome husband Blake. Raised in the 1970's to be subservient and submissive in the traditions of the Bible belt, and sheltered from the world outside, she becomes a prisoner of that tradition. Deceived, betrayed, and routinely ignored she settles; as lifelong dreams fade and systemically fall apart. Add children to the mix, and life gets more unstable as insecurity, tension, and terror grasp her by the throat. But in a revelation of truth she comes to grip with her reality; and plans her escape. Vows and Lies will transport the reader through numerous mysteries, volatile lies, and extraordinary deception as the secrets of Jessica's life unravel. She then risks everything to bring about an ending that is both revealing, and exquisitely glorious. Phoebe Leggett's emotionally rich debut novel is suspenseful, revealing, and deeply moving from start to finish.
