LEO caught up with Lockhart for a brief Q&A. I hope I’ve delivered an experience that will be surprising and new, while still returning people to the beauty and horror of Beechwood Island.” “With ‘Family Of Liars,” I wanted to create an emotional catharsis and leave my audience shaken - but I knew I needed to do it in a very different way than I had in the first book. “Reader response to ‘We Were Liars’ has been incredible and moving,” says Lockhart. Who will crack under the pressure, and who will forever uphold the family’s rules, keeping secrets no matter the damage? When tragedy upends what was meant to be a summer of fun, laughter and first love, the bonds of family are tested.

They do not falter, they do not doubt, they do not grieve - even when they lose one of their own. “Family of Liars” centers around the Liars’ mothers as they spend one notable summer on the island as teenagers, and we see what it really means to be a Sinclair. The Author of “We Were Liars” will revisit the tale of her Sinclair family and discuss the new book, “Family of Liars,” a continuation of their story in another generation. Meet the author on June 10 at her Carmichael’s Kids appearance at the Louisville Free Public Library.
