About the Book

We all build our lives on stories we believe are true — stories about who we are, where we come from, and why we matter.

But what happens when the story you’ve lived your whole life turns out to be a lie?

My Name Is a Lie and Other Truths is a memoir about discovery, loss, emotional inheritance, and the long road toward becoming the person you were always meant to be. It’s a story rooted in a small Texas town, but its reach is universal.

Readers describe it as:

• beautifully written

• deeply human

• emotionally gripping

• thought‑provoking

• unforgettable

This is a book that stays with you — long after the last page.
