The Truth That Can't Be Told

by Diana Huang, Marilyn Carvin, Elizabeth Conte

Secrets abound. Everyone has them. They live in all we do-truth hidden from those we try to deceive, to those we love the most. The Truth that Can't be Told, is a collection of stories and poems covering a range of genres and styles which encompass humor, romance, Sci fi, and mystery, allowing expression in narrative or poetic form. Written by an eclectic group of writers, The Truth that Can't be Told brings together perspectives and creativity with one common theme-truth! Each work is as diverse as the writers, but all are varying tales of our oneness living the human condition: losses our hearts mourn, memories for which our souls yearn, the hurt we cause, the pain we endure, the evil of which we are capable, the dreams we imagine, and the deeds we fail to do. These works encompass what defines us, nourishing our humanity, exposing the worst and inspiring the best in us, by unraveling what is most hidden-the truths that can't be told.

I just finished this anthology from the Lake Forest Writers' Roundtable, and I am so impressed with the quality of these stories and poems. I was especially moved by Billie Kelpin's story, "Sylvia", Elizabeth Conte's poem, "Muse", and Lorraine Gow's story, "Two Mexican Coffees." There's a wide variety of writing styles on display, and the topics range from serious and somber to quirky and fun. I highly recommend it!

Well, it probably isn't fair that I am one of the contributing authors, but I think it fair to rate my fellow writers. This book was labored with love through the pandemic. The theme was fascinating and brought about a diversity of voices and stories that amazed me. There is something for everyone here from mystery, romance, murder, Sci-Fi, women's fiction, to speculative fiction. It is a great book to keep by your chair...and enjoy some mind time.
