The Kindest Lie
by Nancy Johnson
This book does such a good job dealing with a complicated topic: when is it okay to lie (or withhold information) in order to protect a child? This is explored in a bunch of different scenarios and it's not an easy answer. On one hand, adults feel like they know best; on the other, the miscommunications that grow in the not-knowing can do damage to kids as their imaginations run wild. It was interesting, I teared up, I gasped. Pretty much all you can ask for in a contemporary family drama.
