The Color of Truth

Truth isn't always black and white. Sometimes it takes the unexpected to reveal its true colors.

Marti has been on her own since she was 15, determined to build a life for herself and her sister despite the threats of a man intent on keeping her from revealing his secret.

Sam Evans’ turbulent teen years prepared him for the perfect job—counseling troubled youth. Then his pregnant wife walked out on their marriage and his life imploded, leaving him without a family, a job, or his hard-earned reputation.

With her sister in danger, they’re forced to divulge the secrets, lies, and half-truths they’ve kept hidden from each other, and from themselves. If they can’t face the brilliant colors of God’s truth, the consequences may be deadly.

Review

“The Characters Draw You In” by Cheryl E. Rodriguez for Readers’ Favorite
The Color of Truth by Stacy Monson is a story of love and devotion. The narrative reveals how genuine love grows; it portrays the true definition of love. Love is patient, kind, and not self-serving. Nor is it proud or envious of others. Love searches for truth, even when it is hard to accept. Love “always looks for the best, never looks back, but keeps going to the end” (MSG). The characterization is magnificent!The characters of Marti and Sam intricately draw you in, you can’t help but love them and be caught up in their unfolding story. Monson creates unexpected “oh my, what’s next?” moments and surprising encounters, making the narrative hard to put down. Just when things begin to look up, the villain returns, causing the plot to thicken and the action to lurch forward. Yet, all the while, God’s voice gently whispers, and delicately guides. Monson takes her characters to the brink of despair, challenges them to pursue happiness, to conquer fear and doubt, and satisfies their soul with justice and peace. Thus proving, God’s love never gives up or runs out.

“Heartwarming” By Patricia Bell for Readers’ Favorite

The Color of Truth is a truly encouraging story of God’s love and grace. Stacy Monson has created beautiful characters that speak to the heart. I couldn’t help but love and feel for Marti and Sam. I enjoyed the way God worked in Marti’s life to give her the self-confidence she needed to realize just how capable she was. I felt a strong connection to Marti. Her lack of self-worth and feelings of inadequacy touched me on a whole new level. This is the third book in The Chain of Lake series and, although I haven’t read the first two, I had no problem following the story. The Color of Truth is easily a stand-alone book. I look forward to reading the first two in the series. Applause to Stacy Monson for creating a beautiful story.

4 STARS from RTBookReviews!  Stacy Monson paints an utterly breathtaking story that challenges readers to look within themselves. The Color of Truth is a thought provoking read that analyzes our beliefs and expectations in life. This third installment in the Chain of Lakes series is not your standard fiction but rather a story that will inspire you to ask this vital question: What colors of truth, lies and love define us? How does God play into our daily life? Do we turn to Him in times of need only?
