The Colors of Truth

The Grey sisters are used to sticking together—especially after they lost their mother. The eldest, Vayno­na, sensible and composed, is determined to win their father’s approval, but on the vast ranch their family has owned for three generations, she feels like an outsider. Aurora is quiet, observant, and tender-hearted; she does everything she can to put out arguments and preserve the fragile balance in the house. And the youngest, Viv­i-Enn, bright and impulsive, her father’s favorite and the family beauty, is accustomed to being the center of everyone’s attention.

Everything changes when a stranger arrives in town. For the first time, Vivi-Enn truly falls in love and chooses feelings over duty. But that choice proves fateful: a chain of events leads to disaster and puts everything they hold dear at risk—family, home, and the familiar life of a small town.

The trials crack what seemed unbreakable: the bond among the three sisters starts to fall apart due to jealousy, betrayal, and uncontrollable emotions. And yet, to make sense of what happened and reach the truth, they’ll have to set aside their grudges, overcome their differences, and become one team again.

“Colors of Truth” is an engrossing novel about reckless passion and the high price of love; about sisterly closeness and rivalry; about prejudice and unjust accusations; about forgiveness and the effort to make amends. Kristin Hanna reminds us once again: the people who hurt us the most are the ones we love more than anyone else.

In the audiobook version, where characters find their voices through performance, the story of the delicate line between love and betrayal is read by Maria Orlova, Anastasiya Skorik, and Makar Zaporozhsky.
