About the Book

When Lacy Stonington shows up crying at the law office of rural attorney Jean Driscoll, Jean's not interested in the plight of one more overwrought client. But Lacy, sparked by a television show profiling the same seizures suffered twenty years earlier by her three month-old son, catches Jean's attention when she reveals the possible link between his severe brain damage and a childhood vaccine. In pursuit of the truth, Lacy Stonington and Jean Driscoll, two very different women, join forces to expose the scandal behind the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Compensation Fund. As their unlikely friendship develops despite Lacy's haunted past and Jean's problems at home, the journey brings a deeper understanding of motherhood and of the dangerous consequences of white lies.
