It's 2 A.M. on a Saturday night in the spring of 2001, and Cecily Gardner sits alone
- in a dive bar in New York's East Village. Feeling lonesome and homesick for the
Midwest, she wonders if she'll ever make it as a reporter in the big city- and whether she made a terrible mistake in breaking up with Matthew, her longtime boyfriend.
As Cecily reaches for the phone to call him, she hears a guy next to her say, "Don't
do it." Something tells her to listen to him, and over the next several hours, the two forge an unlikely connection. That should be it, they both decide the next morning, as Cecily reminds herself of the perils of a rebound relationship. Yet she and Grant can't seem to say goodbye, and for the first time in her carefully constructed life, Cecily follows her heart instead of her head.
Then Grant goes missing in the chaos of 9/11. Fearing the worst, Cecily spots his
face on a poster and realizes she is not the only one searching tor him. Her reporting instincts kick into action as she vows to discover the truth. But the questions pile up quickly: How well did she know Grant? Did he ever really love her? And is it possible to love a man who wasn't who he seemed to be?
The Lies That Bind is a mesmerizing and emotionally resonant exploration of the
never- ending search for love and truth-in our careers, in our relationships, and deep within our own hearts.
