Deception: Seduced by Lies, Saved by Love By Marleshia Pickett-Mills My relationship was perfect, or so I thought, and you would have, too, if you were on the outside looking in because it was wrapped in shiny paper topped with a fancy bow. But when you begin to unwrap the package and peel back the layers, you will be just as shocked as I was when you are faced with the sheer naked truth, the hard fact that the man that I am in love with, and have shared my life and a child with, also (allegedly) loves men! My name is Riley Patterson, and this is my story of how I was “knocked” down by deception…. Writing Deception: Seduced by Lies, Saved by Love was an extremely emotional experience for author Marleshia Pickett-Mills, as it deals with something so sensitive in nature many people are afraid to talk about. She wants each reader to feel as though they are reading about themselves, like they are there.
