The Truth is Hard to Tell
Jennie is a good person. Really. She tries so very hard to be a godly woman, loving mother, attractive wife, attentive neighbor and dutiful sister, stepmother, daughter, and aunt. The problem is that everyone keeps getting in the way of her success. If it weren’t for circumstances and, well, people, she could be just about perfect. Echoed by the fall of the Twin Towers, Jennie’s world comes crashing down as she tries to make sense of her projections and preconceptions. Sadly, heroic action does not always follow good intentions. The Truth is Hard to Tell is set in Charleston, SC, in September of 2001. Within the matryoshka structure are the interrelated stories of eight characters.
Reviews
— Rosi Hollinbeck, Manhattan Book Review

"Relationships are never simple, but in the South they have a particular complexity. Jennie’s story is no exception, and her truth has the delicacy and intricacies of a spider web. The truth isn’t hard to tell if you have an author with the deft touch and natural storytelling ability of Ashley Atkins."

—Lee Smith, The New York Times bestselling author of The Last Girls

“Virtuoso writing and apocalyptic vision characterize Ashley Atkins' utterly original and fascinating novel. Brilliant writing marks this serious look at contemporary America.”
