The Kindest Lie has a pub date! And praise has been rolling in.
“Race, class, family and secrets are all on a collision course in Johnson’s extraordinarily moving, timely read. Like a heat-seeking missile, her novel hones in on who we think we belong to and why, following the merging lives of Ruth, a black female engineer who seeks out the child she gave away, and Midnight, a young white boy struggling to find his place in the very poverty Ruth managed to escape. A gloriously written, stunning heart scorcher about who we are and what we could be.” —Caroline Leavitt, New York Times Bestselling author of Pictures of You and Cruel Beautiful World
“The Kindest Lie is a soul-stirring, vividly told saga that demands to be read! Johnson presents a story with dazzling prose and textured, complicated characters that haunt you long after you’ve closed the book. It’s hard to believe The Kindest Lie is Johnson’s debut as it’s told with such an assured voice and graceful conviction. I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend!” —Catherine Adel West, author of Saving Ruby King
