Brutally Honest

Brutally Honest is twelve standalone stories that capture the pulse of an American city through the lived experiences of average adults shaped by life's contradictions and harsh realities. Each story presents protagonists who are immersed in a pivotal moment of their life. These are moments of sudden change, shocking revelations, and fantastical disruptions that drive the primary characters toward a stark truth about how they view themselves and the world they inhabit. Baltimore city is the backdrop to these stories; its history, its neighborhoods, its people, its landmarks and its tensions are all an undercurrent to the action of each tale. Brutally Honest is a complement to RJ Farmer's first collection, Painfully Obvious, and bookends his leap of faith in sharing his love of storytelling through the genre of true fiction with these two books-and more to come.
