…a fabulous, heartwarming book that was a joy to read from start to finish. - J.R. Susannah Reese is a wife and mother in 1886, with three young children still living at home. When her husband dies unexpectedly, she is thrust into widowhood and cut off from access to her late husband’s money. She must navigate this crisis with the help of God and some of her adult children, but the laws and customs of the time make life overwhelming for a widow with her responsibilities. She is referred to attorney Christian Wolf for financial guidance, and the two begin to develop a beautiful friendship. However, one of her sons intervenes, planting gossip and lies to sabotage his mother and take control of his late father’s estate. TEACUPS AND LIES is a story of God’s strength, faithfulness, and provision in desperate times. It is about coping with grief, the destructive power of gossip, the triumph of love, and the power of family.
