Dr Elizabeth Loftus explains to Eve Ash that not everyone who conceals the truth feels guilt. Eve Ash recounts her mother's ulcerative colitis, developed when Eve's biological father took off with his second wife's niece, later forming a menage a trois. Although Eve accepts that her mother never told her the truth about her paternity, she wonders if her mother's illness was a symptom of her stress.
Those who lie, some feel guilt and some don't
As Eve finds, her mother's deception was complex and the story almost incredible
There is no proven link between lies and physical illness
