Big Lies in a Small Town

 Fiction by Diane Chamberlain


Jesse Williams, a successful modern painter with a passion for helping the young struggling artist, has recently died. In his will, he sets instructions for the restoration of a late-1930's WPA mural that he wishes to be installed for the opening of  his new museum. But he has very specific instructions about the mural that he wants his daughter to carry out, one of which involves getting a young woman released from jail to do the work.

The story goes back and forth between 1939, when the mural is first being painted, and the restoration of the mural in 2018. It's a good book with some surprises in store! 

I also read recently by this author: Necessary Lies
