From the award-winning author of The Hate Game: Screaming in the Silence comes a wickedly funny and unexpectedly moving memoir of childhood guilt, globetrotting mishaps, and one truly terrible lie.The Lie That Changed Everything tells the story of a boy who was forced to swear a lie on his father’s life, dreamed of his death, and then watched it come true.Trew unpacks this haunting legacy with unfiltered honesty and laugh-out-loud British humour, reflecting on a childhood shaped by chaos, confusion, and unexpected moments of grace. Set in the ’60s and ’70s, the story travels through RAF bases, botched first kisses, and a failed 'Ten Pound Pom' migration to Australia. At its core are a mum who could terrify the devil with her 'scriptures,' and a war-hero dad whose quiet reclusiveness left a hole no amount of humour could fill.One little rascal. One very big lie. And one funny, unforgettable ride.Perfect for fans of Sedaris, Angela’s Ashes and The Glass Castle; Trew’s tale is as heartbreaking as it is hilarious.The Lie That Changed Everything is Part 1 of a two-part memoir series, followed by The Hate Game: Screaming in the Silence - winner of the 2025 Independent Author Award and Literary Titan Gold Award.Set in 1960s and 1970s England and Australia, this coming-of-age memoir explores RAF life, Ten Pound Pom migration, childhood guilt, British humour, family dysfunction, and parental loss. Perfect for readers drawn to nostalgic, emotional, and darkly funny true stories.The Lie That Changed Everything is Part 1 of a two-part memoir series, followed by The Hate Game: Screaming in the Silence - winner of the 2025 Independent Author Award and Literary Titan Gold Award.
