In the summer of 1976, an ordinary hunting excursion in a swampy wooded area outside of his hometown thrusts twelve-
year-old Ezra Brasseaux into a world of racial and murderous treachery that resurfaces during his adulthood and refuses to loosen its grip. With the help of childhood friends, he assumes the role of an awkward avenger who finds himself following a path of perilous intrigue from which there is no turning back.
A poignant and haunting story set in south Louisiana's bayou-
laden Acadiana region where Cajun, Creole and Anglo-Saxon cultures both merge and collide, Where Lies the Truth is a provocative, edgy coming of age tale spun with an unflinching exploration of race, the loss of innocence, hidden truths and reckoning long deferred.
