LaDon Jones, lover of all things sensual, finds herself in the worst kind of trouble - facing a trial for the murder of her son-in-law. She's been in predicaments before, but always managed to come out on top. She's not so sure this time. Samantha Peterson, LaDon's cool, intellectual daughter, struggles to put distance between herself and her mother, as well as the backward, rural community in which she was raised. Everything is going according to plan until she finds herself at the center of the trial. What she can salvage will depend on her testimony. With the trial forcing a melding of past and present, will they break the Ring of Lies?
