β¦ Synopsis
Meri Beckley lives in a world without lies. When she turns on the news, she hears only the facts. When she swipes the pages of her online textbooks, she reads only the truth. When she looks at the peaceful Chicago streets, she feels the pride everyone in the country feels about the era of unprecedented hope and prosperity over which the government presides.
But when Meriβs mother is killed, Meri suddenly has questions that no one else seems to be asking. And when she tries to uncover her motherβs state of mind in her last weeks, she finds herself drawn into a secret world full of facts sheβs never heard and a history she didnβt know existed.
Suddenly, Meri is faced with a choice between accepting the βtruthβ she has been taught or embracing a world the government doesnβt want anyone to seeβa world where words have the power to change the course of a country, and the wrong word can get Meri killed.
