About this item
After Pam Walker steps off the mayoral campaign trail to return to her childhood home, she discovers the tattered birth certificate of a disowned child that leads her to question the value of honesty between loved ones and the definition of "family." Following the trail to a sibling she never knew, a quirky guise lures an unsuspecting sister to Montis Inn where new relationships are tested, and a husband becomes dangerously lost in Lumby. Pam also learns what happens when post-truth politics plow down Main Street, proving that words are only as worthy as those who speak them.
