Tariq and Jamal Hammond have been like brothers for more than fifteen years. Tariq worships Jamal, a highly successful Houston defense attorney and charismatic ladies' man looking for everything but a long-term relationship. But things change when Tariq, the up-and-coming author often in Jamal's shadow, proposes to Anomie Beckford, a foreign-relations expert who works for the government. Afraid of losing his best friend, Jamal tests Tariq's decision with a bet that sends Tariq's world spinning downward.

Questioned loyalties, deceit, and heartbreak follow for Tariq, who must realize that he can't achieve true happiness, within himself, in his friendships, or in love, until he accepts the power of Jesus and God in his life. Read Between the Lies is a passionate and compelling look at forgiveness, redemption, and commitment to faith.
