Susan Galbraith

A friend and I are sitting in a restaurant and our waitress walked over and asked us if we had heard that there was a body that had been found at the middle school.

As I'm heading towards home, I saw a crime scene tape and I started walking through this grass.

As I come through the clearing of it, I just look up and there I see the body of a black woman.

I knew that it had grabbed me.

I knew it because I could not stop thinking about her.

Susan Galbraith was a housewife in Mayfield, Kentucky.

But after a murder in town, Susan took it upon herself to find witnesses who could point to a killer.

She thought she was going to be a hero.

But that's not what happened.

The lies, a lot of lies.

What were Susan's real motives?

She wasn't in it to help them find the killer.

Why then did the cops take her seriously?

Susan's son is wrestling with his mother's legacy to this day.

I mean, my mom was, I use the word diabolical.

And perhaps the biggest question of all is, did she help convict an innocent man?

From Sony Music Entertainment and Message Heard, this is My Mother's Lies.
