How important is the past? For 40-year-old Nefertiti, known as Titi, who's always felt like an outsider in her own family, it's vital. 

Titi has returned home for her father's seventy-fifth birthday celebration, but she's not there with well wishes for the man who sent her away many years ago. She's come looking for answers--about the child she was forced to give up for adoption and about her family's secretive history. 

Her mother does not want her snooping into family affairs that are better left in the past, but Titi is determined. She knows there must be some truth to the strange stories her beloved great-grandmother, Big Mama Lily, told her as a child, and now she's not leaving until she learns the truth--even if it destroys her family in the process. 

"Hostage of Lies is a thriller; you are spellbound as unexpected secrets unfold. This story is a tale of how family secrets hold two generations hostage. There is revenge but, finally, redemption." 

Dr. Rosie Milligan, Founder of Black Writers on Tour 

"Secrets make you sick is the story told in this startling novel, Hostage of Lies. And those family secrets of lies, deception and denial are passed down generation after generation until someone decides to seek the truth...." 

Anfra, Author of You Are My Sister
