Author Julie Coons
JULIE COONS lives in a small town in Oregon. THIS DOES NOT LEAVE THIS HOUSE was her debut memoir. Amy's bookshelf reviews awarded it the #1 position for top 10 books of 2018. Her second book WHY SHE LIED is based on a true story. Her books are written to lead a movement toward positive change. She tells the stories of her life with honesty and strength.
I write about my life hoping to inspire positive change in the world. I write in a very honest and sometimes emotional way. I have been threatened into silence far too long. It's time to get these secrets out into the open and end the cycle of abuse in families once and for all. My latest book "Why She Lied" is also based on stories in my life and shines a light on human trafficking. I really have lived through a lot of things in my life. I consider myself more of a story teller than a writer although I am working hard to improve my writing skills every day. Until then, I hire the best editors money can buy.

Why She Lied
Julie Coons
Review by HeidiLynn's BookReviews
First, I want to thank Julie Coons for providing me with
this book so I may bring you this review.
Julie Coons is an incredibly strong and brave woman to share
her very intense and powerful story with the world in Why She Lied. This book
is not only on my must read of the year-but-my all time favorite read of the year.
It is one of those psychological thrillers that will totally shock you, blow you
away, make you cringe, make you cry (at least I did), but then you have to
remember-this is someone’s true story! This actually happened to someone!! Then
all I wanted to do was hug Julie and never let her go.
I will be blunt this is a dark and twisted book. This is not
a feel-good book at all! It is a book with a lot of issues that I feel need to
be discussed in the review in case it is a trigger for the readers. This book
deals with pedophile, sex and human trafficking, rape by nuns and priests at a Catholic
School, Abortion and the aftermath of it, narcissistic parents, murder, lots of
secrets, molestation, etc. This is not a book for just anyone. This went beyond
any #MeToo book I have ever read before.
Julie blew me away with this book. Right away she captured
my attention with the book. She mentioned she is in an Em-path and has a caring
heart. This is why she went into the medical field. I too have that trait and I
too was in the medical field. In the beginning of the book she discussed many
medical cases she worked on. This part of the book very much intrigued me to no
end. I love medical themed books as well. So I was loving this book.
She continued to capture my interest throughout the book. Why
She Lied was one of the books with the most secrets, shockers, twists and
turns. This was the first book I was ever truly scared to death for the
character and cried my eyes out at the end for her. I wanted to hold her and be
there for her at the end of all this.
Single ladies be careful who you choose to date!!! Not everyone
is who you seem!!
Julie Coons Why She Lied needs to make it to the big screen
or even NetFlix Original! This movie has to be made. I am so incredibly passionate
about this book and this author!! This has blockbuster written all over it!!
You just have to read the book to see what I am talking about.
I honestly hope by writing this that she was able to heal
from all of this. I also hope by writing this that it could help someone in
this situation.
