Truth, by Omission

By: Daniel Beamish, Dion Graham - introduction

Narrated by: Dion Graham

A heart-wrenching saga set on three continents, over four decades, Truth, by Omission seamlessly intertwines factual events of recent times in Africa with a compelling set of contemporary fictional circumstances.

After surviving a desperate childhood of lawlessness and violence, Alfred Olyontombo makes his way to a refugee camp while Rwanda's genocide rages behind him. His knowledge of local languages catches the attention of an idealistic young doctor who opens the door to a whole new life for Alfred. Seizing the chance, he moves forward, embracing the American dream and becoming a respected physician married to a successful lawyer in Colorado. However, his new life comes to a screeching halt when the transgressions of his youth come back to haunt him.

With his future hanging in the balance, Alfred is forced to face the misdeeds - and the nemesis - he'd hoped time had buried forever. But is it too late for the truth to matter? And which version of the truth can save him?

A must read!

A amazing story. I could not stop listening. It is about survival, love, forgiveness and finding meaning when all is lost.

I Cried Through the Whole Last Chapter

Awesome Story! Amazing Storytelling! And I cried through the whole last chapter.... I couldn't get enough of this story. There was so much pain that I wanted it to end... but always so much hope that I couldn't wait to hear what happened next.

What a powerful and well told story!

Beautifully written and brilliantly performed, this story pulls you in immediately and will not release you until the last word!

Stupendous

Excellent all around. What an achievement. I couldn’t help but think about the realities of conflict in many nations right now

Wow!

This was one of the best books I’ve read in a very long time. Having traveled to Rwanda and visited some of the genocide sites/memorial, I continue to be horrified by the brutality that occurred there (and many other places!). This story and narration were excellent. I was surprised to learn it was Mr. Beamish’s first novel.
