The Lie Drinkers (The Truth Eaters Series)

What if the very thing you believe will protect you, is the very thing that's destroying you? Logan is a boy awaiting his father's return from a tour in the Middle East. But a training mission, a helicopter, a crash and a phone call, forever alters the lives of Logan and Charlotte Michaelson. As Charlotte and Logan reassemble the shattered fragments of their family, they can't help but ask the question, what does life look like when Dad isn't coming home? At twelve, Spencer is the lone survivor of a car crash that steals the lives of his father and best friend. Emotionally abandoned, Spencer walks through life alone. He is shy, quiet, a recluse, a freak...and he believes he is better off as a solitary member of society. Spencer has no friends, no real family, save one, a mysterious visitor named Henry who challenges his beliefs, his systems, and his sanity. It is when the the two stories collide, and souls are laid bare that we begin to understand and employ a simple truth: things are seldom what they seem. It is on this journey, where we meet Spencer, Logan, Charlotte, and Henry as they usher us to a destination we all deeply seek to reach, but have no idea how to hold in our grasp.
