She had promised her family she'd never look back, but Ruth knows that to move forward, she must make peace with the past. Returning home, Ruth discovers the Indiana factory town of her youth is plagued by unemployment, racism, and despair. As she begins digging into the past, she unexpectedly befriends Midnight, a young white boy who is also adrift and looking for connection. Just as Ruth is about to uncover a burning secret her family desperately wants to keep hidden, a traumatic incident strains the town's already searing racial tensions, sending Ruth and Midnight on a collision course that could upend both their lives. Powerful and revealing, The Kindest Lie captures the heartbreaking divide between Black and white communities and offers both an unflinching view of motherhood in contemporary America and the never-ending quest to achieve the American Dream.

Amazon.com Review\nAn Amazon Best Book of February 2021: Johnson’s perceptive debut speaks volumes about motherhood, family and race in America. Ruth Tuttle is a successful engineer with a devoted husband, a bright future, and the secret of a child she was forced to give up as a teen. An exploration of inherent bias, the secrets we keep from the ones we love, and a bond that defies small town racism, this sensitive, hopeful novel is perfect for your next book club. –Seira Wilson, Amazon Book Review\nRecommended by O Magazine * GMA * Elle * Marie Claire * Good Housekeeping * NBC News * Shondaland * Chicago Tribune * Woman's Day * Refinery 29 * Bustle * The Millions * New York Post * Parade * Hello!
