Family Myths

FAMILY MYTHS is the dramatic final chapter of the Augustus Family Trilogy. Once again an Augustus is protecting themselves and the family name with lies. In 1960, rich, pampered, Elizabeth Augustus leaves college and disappears into the developing, San Francisco, California hippy scene. Her father, who is tormented by guilt over his unwillingness to have told Elizabeth that she was in fact his child, hires a detective. The search goes on for years as Elizabeth hides in plain sight, living a life completely unlike the one the she imagined when she ran away. Eighteen year old Elizabeth created a fake identity. As she matures her new identity matures with her and she becomes whoever she believes she needs to be in order to be accepted. Beneath the shield of her lies, Elizabeth’s deceptions become her truth and the truth of all who know her. Available on Amazon, Smashwords, and More

I had already read and loved the first two books, Family Lies and Family Matters, and have been awaiting the debut of this one, Family Myths! It is all and more than what I expected. Tamara Merrill continues the story with a grown-up Elizabeth Agustus, making us fall in love with her characters and root for them all the way - and ties up all of the storylines beautifully as well. Way to go, Tamara Merrill!
