Mother of All Lies, Paperback

When academic Leon Fenton accidentally discovers the truth about his father, he confronts his mother for an explanation. She refuses to accept his irrefutable DNA proof or answer any of his questions.
Three years later, now detained in a geriatric psychiatric hospital and inching ever closer to madness and death, she decides to write to Leon and give him the truth he craves. In opening up the secrets of the past, she not only reveals the story behind his father but also reveals why she became the abusive, narcissistic mother he has been estranged from all his life.
