What the Valley Knows: Heather Christie (Writer)

Return to Millington Valley, Pennsylvania where five popular high school athletes have made a deadly mistake and vow never to speak of it. Piper Rose, ballet protégé, is laden with guilt and fails her college dance audition and her OCD tendencies morph into self-mutilation. She knows that confessing their misdeed would jeopardize the guys’ soccer scholarships, and the possibility of love with the one who pulled the trigger.

Tensions rise, fear mounts, and in-fighting escalates as each teen deals with pangs of conscience. Ultimately, Piper must choose whether to admit their cover-up, shattering the futures of everyone else involved, or wreck her own life.

The Lying Season is a cautionary tale of how fragile the moment is when forced to choose between right and wrong and how that choice has dire consequences.

How A Friend’s Death Changed My Life

The church was mobbed, the October evening carrying the first nip of autumn. Kids hurried from football, soccer, field hockey, tennis, and cheerleading practices. Parents rushed from work. Coaches, teachers, colleagues, friends, and acquaintances—everyone was there to pay homage. One of our own had fallen.
