Vanessa is a savvy English professor who is still clinging on to the memories of her ex fiancé (David), who unexpectedly becomes physically abusive and insecure after the death of his parents, until her old short term flame from college (Bryce) unexpectedly reappears in her life; who her sisters Justine and Jade, remembers Bryce as not being physically attractive. Is Bryce going to charm Vanessa with his newfound, undeniably good looks and wit, or is she going to allow the past of her fiancé to taunt her? Jade is a spunky, fun LA girl who is very opinionated, and allows her sexy and flirtatious ways to get what she wants, even though her boyfriend (Troy) is willing to do anything in the world for her. Will Jade allow the men who throw themselves at her to distract her 3 year relationship with Troy? Justine is the older of her two sisters; who makes her feel as if she has to be the lead example because she has a dream home in Brentwood with a mogul husband and two children. Justine is all about family, given that she was adopted. But the real question is if Justine can handle the pressure of keeping her family together once skeletons start to come out of the closet and the truth comes to the light. "When Truth Be Told" will certainly take its readers on an emotional rollercoaster through the characters lies, affairs, and distinctively memorable characteristics.
