Plague of Lies Marbeth Skwarczynski

The cover-up didn't have the desired effect. The lies could not be contained and rippled throughout the community. The sense of betrayal hit seventeen-year-old Scott the hardest. He had planned out his entire life based on the teachings of his spiritual mentor. Discovering that his mentor was living a lie sent Scott into a swirling abyss of anger and frustration. He lost his faith and unconsciously followed in the steps of the man he'd learned to hate-until she came into his life. Lauren knew two things about her father: he had demanded she be born, and he left when she was an infant. He was the first adult in her life to let her know she was unwanted, but not the last. Her very existence was the reason her grandparents were perpetually angry and that her mother was doomed to a dead-end job. Then, on her eighteenth birthday, a letter from her father arrives, inviting her to meet him. Is it possible that her family had lied about him all this time?
