Ren Tyson is a mom, wife, survivor, and the voice behind The Liar: Beautifully Broken. Her memoir traces a winding path from a strict Bible Belt childhood and family secrets, through mental health battles, addiction, and the unthinkable loss of her son. It’s a story about the lies we’re taught to believe about ourselves, and the slow, honest work of unlearning them so we can finally live in the light.
This isn’t a happily ever after “everything’s fine now” memoir. Ren tells the truth about childhood abuse, religious fear, bipolar disorder, addiction, and grief with a raw honesty that makes readers feel seen—not judged. If you’re tired of sugar-coated stories, this book will feel like a deep breath of real air.
If you’ve ever been called dramatic, a liar, or “too much” for speaking up, you’ll recognize yourself in these pages. Ren gives language to the confusion and pain of being dismissed by the very people who should have protected you, and offers the comfort of finally hearing: you’re not crazy, and you’re not alone.
Though it walks through dark places—family betrayal, mental illness, and the loss of a child—this memoir is ultimately about survival, faith, and stubborn perseverance. Readers come away with a sense that healing is messy but possible, and that even the most broken stories can still hold beauty, purpose, and grace.

Born and raised in Bakersfield, California, Ren Tyson grew up the eldest of five in a disfunctional, Free Will Baptist family where faith was public and pain was private. Childhood trauma, untreated mental health struggles, and years of being dismissed as “too much” or “not enough” left deep marks—but they also became the raw material for the stories she would one day tell.
Over the years, Ren has worked in a wide range of roles—singing, photography, commercial work, security, law enforcement, teaching, and more—but music and writing have always been her constant companions. She still treasures a small blue book of songs written by her mom, the woman who first taught her how words and melody can hold both pain and hope.

Readers from all walks of life—survivors, parents, pastors, therapists, and everyday people—have found pieces of their own stories in Ren’s. Here’s what some of them are saying about The Liar: Beautifully Broken.
“Raw, honest, and unexpectedly hopeful. I saw myself in these pages more times than I can count. Ren doesn’t tidy up the hard parts of her story, but she also never leaves you there—she shows you what it looks like to keep getting back up, even when the past won’t let go.”
“This book felt like sitting down with a friend who tells the truth about things most of us only whisper. As a therapist, I was struck by how clearly Ren captures the long-term impact of childhood trauma, faith, and family systems—and as a reader, I simply couldn’t put it down.”
The Liar: Beautifully Broken is raw, fearless, and deeply human. Ren Tyson tells the truth many are taught to bury, with a voice that aches and burns with clarity. This memoir doesn’t ask for sympathy—it demands to be believed. A necessary read for survivors who are done being silent.
Ren Tyson writes with brutal honesty and dark humor, turning pain into something fiercely alive. Her story exposes the cost of silence, faith, and denial in a world that protects appearances over children. This book stays with you long after the final page.
