True Love Lies

by Brad Fraser

Kane and Carolyn are happily married, run their own business, and have two rebellious teenagers: outgoing Madison and geeky Royce. The typical nuclear family. But when Madison applies for a job at the new restaurant in town, Kane and Carloyn find that a man they had long forgotten has just re-entered their lives: Kane’s ex-lover. Sparking a series of further revelations, the sudden re-appearance of David exposes suppressed emotions and desires in everyone and the family must renegotiate their relationships with each other and, ultimately, redefine their family.

In sharp, non-stop dialogue, Brad Fraser brings each of his characters to life with a depth, humour, and emotion that tears open the nuclear family and finds the heart that is often lost and forgotten.

“Fraser is still writing with the urban, contemporary vitality that makes his work so refreshing.”

—J. Kelly Nestruck, Globe and Mail
