About Secrets and Lies in El Salvador Rape survivor Shelly Dalton Smith travels to war-torn El Salvador hoping to heal from multiple traumas and deception. Shelly is taken in by a host family, but is tricked into a mission that jeopardizes her life and exposes her to secrets and lies. Witnessing the death of an American journalist and overhearing harrowing accounts of refugees who saw their families massacred tears Shelly apart. It is almost too much to bear until she meets an American fighting with the guerrillas. He teaches her a passion for living she has never known, but every day places both of their lives in danger, and she wonders if anyone will make it out alive. "Secrets and Lies in El Salvador" exposes death and destruction at every turn, but also validates the power of love and embodies the gift of hope. http://www.amazon.com/ http://www.barnesandnoble.com/ End
