A Good Girl's Guide to Lying:
Losing My Memory,
Searching for Truth,
& Confronting Complex Trauma
“Courageous, exquisite, and unflinching in its exploration of complex trauma, A Good Girl's Guide to Lying is an unforgettable story of resilience, the power of the human mind, and how one woman found the courage to keep going. Brilliant, harrowing, and unlike any book I've read before, Michelle Hébert's story is a gift for all survivors and the people who love them. A triumph.”
– JOANNE GALLANT, award-winning author of A Womb in the Shape of a Heart
