The latest novel from Debra Delaney
Veil of Truth
Daisy loves her sister Verity, but resentment simmers beneath the surface. And who could blame her? Verity has everything Daisy lacks – beauty, poise, charm and, most painfully, their father’s adoration. In contrast, Daisy endures his constant disdain, each look and word a fresh wound.
Their father’s sudden death leaves her cast adrift, forcing her into service for a cruel and vindictive employer. After a crisis occurs, homelessness and fear of arrest drive Daisy to seek Verity’s help, only to face a shattering betrayal.
Then Daisy is offered an unexpected lifeline: a position at Willow Bank Farm, where Verity is also employed. But the farm’s peaceful façade hides darker truths. Beneath its surface, jealousy festers, and envy and mistrust threaten everything.
As tensions boil over and Daisy’s chance of love is snatched away, long-buried secrets begin to surface and Daisy uncovers the truth behind her father’s hatred.
Then tragedy strikes, forcing her to confront not only Verity’s choices but also her own. Her pursuit of justice will demand courage, and the answers she seeks may come at a cost she’s not prepared to pay.
