Deceived: A Case of Mistaken Identity

By Valerie Banfield

Description:

He’s everything she ever wanted. She’ll do whatever it takes to keep him. But when her masquerade unravels, is she willing to pay the price of her deception?

When Diane Cooper, invites her best friend, Gina Brandt, to her Venezuelan wedding, little does Gina know that her maid of honor duties include duping the groom. Diane’s timing couldn’t be worse.

Gina celebrates the close of a miserable chapter in her life and the onset of what promises to be a better narrative, but in the midst of Diane’s sham, Gina struggles to safeguard her integrity and newfound faith.

When a chunk of Diane’s veneer crumbles, she attempts to cover her dishonest steps and unwittingly exposes a series of betrayals and deceit, perpetrated decades earlier by a ruthless pretender. With his misdeeds exposed, will blackmail sooth the vindictive deceiver’s hunger, or will he resort to something more ominous and deadly to silence his accusers?

Book Takeaway:

We need to be vigilant, to practice discernment, and to remember that the only truth that does not change is that which is given to us by an unchanging God.

Why the author wrote this book:

Deception is a stealthy force. In this modern world, where what people perceive as right and wrong seems to change with the wind, truth is often distorted. We don't always recognize the altered condition as false.
