The Lip of Truth

About the Book

On visits to his bank, Mark becomes attracted to a recently hired teller. He works up the courage to invite her out for dinner and learns that it is not a good idea because of a long-standing difficulty between their fathers. He begins to ask questions of others in his Christian association who might help him understand why events from years past now impinge on his own life. His father is sorely displeased with the opening of old wounds and rebukes him sharply for his pursuit of “forbidden fruit.” The story—with overtones from the houses of Montague and Capulet—evolves from here.
