The Camera Never Lies by David Rawlings

Book Description:  Daniel Whitely is a successful marriage counselor and bestselling author, yet his own marriage is in crisis and his daughter is drifting further away each day. To make matters worse, the deadline for his second book has come and gone, and he still hasn’t written a single word. 
When Daniel inherits an old camera from his grandfather, he notices an inscription on the bottom: “No matter what you think you might see, the camera never lies.” 
Daniel begins using the camera, but every time he develops his photos, they threaten to reveal secrets that could sabotage both his marriage and his career—exposing him as a fraud and destroying the life he has worked so hard to build. 
He’s faced with a choice: keep his secrets and save his career or come clean and possibly save his family. Which will he choose? Which would you choose? 

My Thoughts:  This was one of the most interesting stories that I've read in awhile.
It's so interesting that a picture does tell a thousand words about us.  So the camera never lies giving us all a new look at how our lives are being played out right before us in pictures.
Daniel Whitely inherits a camera and as he takes pictures and has them developed he begins to notice that his life is played out right before his eyes.  
He also begins to see that he, his wife and daughter do not have the perfect life as they thought they did.  The camera, the pictures and life begin to tell Daniel that he is a fraud.
On the other hand, Daniel begins to see what is really important in life.
This book drew me in and let me glimpse at what a world through a camera lens might display.
What a story!
