An ordinary woman discovers she has an extraordinary ability when she awakens from a coma-she's able to make people tell the truth. When Amelia Jones recovers from a paddleboard accident on Amelia Island, Florida, she soon realizes that when she says the words 'the truth be told, ' others are compelled to speak honestly. As she deals with the profound intellectual, emotional, and spiritual impact of the 45th Presidency, she continues her soul-searching about the nature of 'truth' in an alternative-facts society. Amelia faces new challenges when videos showing her abilities are posted on social media. She is inundated with requests for help from strangers, local police departments, and the FBI. She becomes involved with several high-prole cases, including a deadly plot against the Vice President, and a conspiracy by the KNC, a fanatical right-wing group planning the assassination of key political figures. While in Washington, DC, Amelia's entanglement with the KNC leads to a life-threatening situation.
