Could You Tell The Truth Knowing It Will Invite Pain Lori Miller Kase's The Accident

A deadly hit-and-run shatters a quiet Connecticut town— and Hannah can't shake the chilling feeling that she knows who's behind the wheel. It might be her brother, Rob. It might be Zach—Rob’s best friend and the first boy who’s ever really seen her. And the truth might destroy her life. As the police close in, Hannah falls deeper in love with Zach and spirals into a web of lies to protect the people she loves. However, when her friends turn cold, and a buried family secret comes to light, she realizes the truth is far more dangerous than she ever imagined. Now two versions of the accident are colliding—and only one can be true. Her loyalty is split. Her heart is at war with her conscience. A coming-of-age novel with engaging lessons about life’s choices and their consequences. How quickly poor actions can tear everything apart. What happens when you take the path of following your heart impulsively in the moment instead of your conscience. THE ACCIDENT (Woodhall Press: October 14, 2025) is not only a YA thriller, but a gripping psychological drama about love, guilt, and the razor-thin line between protecting others and betraying yourself.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-view-from-the-writing-instrument--1023245/support.
