THE YESTERYEAR LIE

She came home to save her grandmothers farm. She didnt expect to find a body.

For readers of Yesteryear and Kelly Rimmers dual-timeline domestic suspense comes a haunting new novel about the lies a family tells to survive - and the ones that finally come due.

Jo Hartwell never planned to come home. Laid off, married, and drowning in quiet desperation, she returns to her late grandmothers failing Door County farm with one goal: save it from foreclosure before the bank takes it for good. She has no farming experience, no real plan, and no idea that her grandmothers "perfect" homestead is hiding something the soil has kept secret for fifty-six years.

When a well-drilling crew strikes bone in the lower field, Jos hopeful new beginning collapses into something far darker. A young woman vanished from this same farm in 1968 - dismissed at the time as a runaway, never truly searched for, quietly forgotten by everyone except the grandmother who spent the rest of her life too frightened to say her name.

As Jo digs through hidden journals, decades-old secrets, and the fading memory of an elderly neighbor who has carried his own guilt for half a century, she begins to understand the true cost of her familys silence - and the unbearable choice her grandmother made to protect it. The deeper she goes, the more she realizes: some inheritances arent land or money. Some are debts that come due generations later, demanding to finally be paid.

The Yesteryear Lie is a gripping, emotionally devastating novel about the stories families tell to survive themselves, the women left to carry them, and what it finally costs to tell the truth.

Some lies are buried so deep, it takes someone brave enough to dig them up. Read The Yesteryear Lie today.
