About this item
A provocative audiobook about the fallout from the truth by the author of the national bestseller The Lifeboat.For Maggie Rayburn, wife, mother, and secretary at a munitions plant, life is pleasant, predictable, and secure. When she finds proof of a high-level cover-up on her boss's desk, she impulsively takes it, turning her world upside down. Propelled by a desire to do good--and a newfound taste for excitement--Maggie starts to see injustice everywhere. Soon, her bottom drawer is filled with "evidence," her town has turned against her, and she must decide how far she will go for the truth. Meanwhile, in Iraq, Captain Penn Sinclair's hasty orders have disastrous results. In an attempt at atonement, he reunites with three survivors to expose the truth about the war.
