The Trouble with Truth, Elizabeth Kelly Stephenson’s memoir, recounts a tale of feeling trapped in a continuous cycle of destructive relationships.
Beth was born in Santa Monica, California, but escaped the smog of Southern California at age twenty-eight to marry her ski instructor after a whirlwind courtship. The marriage didn’t last, but the blue skies of Idaho’s Wood River Valley had a hold on her. She worked there for fifteen years as Executive Director of the Crisis Hotline, a twenty-four hour crisis line, where she dealt daily with issues of domestic violence, child abuse and mental illness, themes that drive her memoir, The Trouble with Truth.
