Deceive Me Not

Imagine learning at the age of forty-nine that you were adopted, and in the course of tracing your birth parents, find your happy thirty-year marriage threatened by the outcome.

This is the dilemma facing Barbara McNab when she returns alone to the English village of Littlingham where she believes she was born. Before her search is over she will learn how children suffer psychologically when war separates them for many years from their families; how, for some whose entire families died as a result of war, the guilt of survival causes lifelong trauma.

Missing her husband, but afraid to reveal her search’s unimaginable conclusion, Barbara struggles alone to solve the mystery. Underlying the adventure, mystery and even murder, is the story of a love that, having thrived for thirty years, is strengthened by coming so close to being lost forever.

“I’ve just been treated to Jura MacLean Sherwood’s third book Deceive Me Not and found myself drawn in from the first page. This book has something for everyone. There is adventure, mystery and murder as well as a love story. This is contained within one woman’s search to unravel family secrets and is told in a very compelling way.” – Marsha Markham
