intro

When Lily Trager unexpectedly returns home bruised and battered, her father Tig is caught off guard-especially with Happy Lowman and Kozik visiting. Brushing off their concern with a lie, she escapes to her room, clutching two beers and a storm of secrets. But Happy doesn't let things go that easy. As he quietly joins her, stretched out on her bed, he asks the question no one else has: Why did you lie? What follows is a raw moment of truth, pain, and maybe-just maybe-connection.
