Meanwhile, Isaac had disappeared again, his mother was desperate, and Christopher was lost in dreams of river boats, the Congo, and his father's approval. Three stories, three familiesall struggling against the ceaseless tide of the past while desperate to change the future. This Was Not The Truth and Other Collected Stories weaves its tales around the common themes of race, family, and trust.
