Investigative journalist Keegan Thomas is living a
nightmare of guilt and grief since her little girl, Daisy,
was kidnapped practically in front of her eyes. When the
police investigation stalled, she turned her grief to
anger and buried herself in her work searching for missing
children, her own included. The result was an award-
winning series of articles on unsolved abductions.
On what is supposed to be a working vacation, Keegan
travels to Monument Valley on the Navajo Indian Reservation
seeking the whereabouts of people in an old photograph
found in her grandfather's belongings after his death. But
the Indians do not welcome this nosy stranger carrying a
picture of their old people, some of them dead. While
navigating the mysterious ways of the Navajo, Keegan
discovers one of the children in the photograph was
kidnapped by missionaries and taken to a boarding school.
Keeganβs search for the child leads to a web of deception
that stretches back two generations, and the truth Keegan
learns about her own family is the most shocking betrayal
of all. Nothing can prepare her for the danger she
encounters when she becomes the target of a powerful U.S.
senator who will do anything to stop her from telling what
she knows about the PICTURE OF LIES.
