Most people in  Peckinpaw, Kentucky, assume that Ella's no-good husband did the deed.  Others think Ella grew tired of his abuse and did it herself. Muddy is  determined to find out for sure either way, especially once she finds  strange papers hidden amongst her mama's possessions.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut  Peckinpaw keeps its secrets buried deep. Muddy's  almost-more-than-friend, Bobby Marshall, knows that better than most.  Though he passes for white, one of his ancestors was Frannie Crow, a  slave hanged a century ago on nearby Hark Hill Plantation. Adorning the  town square is a seat built from Frannie's gallows. A tribute, a  relic--and a caution--it's known as Liar's Bench. Now, the answers Muddy  seeks soon lead back to Hark Hill, to hatred and corruption that have  echoed through the years--and lies she must be brave enough to confront  at last. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKim Michele Richardson's lush, beautifully written  debut is set against a Southern backdrop passing uneasily from bigotry  and brutality to hope. With its compelling mystery and complex yet  relatable heroine, \u003ci\u003eLiar's Bench \u003c\/i\u003eis a story of first love, raw courage, and truths that won't be denied.","brand":"Kensington","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback (9781617737336)","offer_id":46404080566499,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9781617737336","price":102.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback (9781496734228)","offer_id":46774805496035,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9781496734228","price":105.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9781617737336.jpg?v=1748571694","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh-mo\/products\/9781617737336","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
