LOVE or LIES

---

Returning to your childhood home can bring fond memories. But for El it only brings staggering questions. 

A graduate with honors from UC Berkeley and an up-and-coming finance person in the Dot Com world of San Francisco, El sees a glorious life ahead. But when her boss/significant other dismisses outright her advice against taking the company public, he eliminates her position along with their relationship. 

Now at 32, El has no job, no home, no company car, and no significant other. As her world crashes around her, she learns of the death of her aunt, a radical anti-war protestor and feminist who attended Berkeley in the 60s. She was also El’s mentor and last remaining relative. El returns to her small hometown in rural New Mexico for the first time since her parent’s death 12 years before to settle the estate. While the sights are familiar, what she finds about her family is not. The unraveling of her family’s history, the hauntings of her past relationships, and the lies and secrets she uncovers cause her to question any who have professed their love for her. Everywhere she turns she finds more questions, but even when they’re promised, the answers are elusive. 

In the end, she must decide, is it love or lies.
