Book Launch: The Long Con: A 12-Year Marriage Built on Lies

Some stories you read. Others you survive.

Today, we’re proud to announce the official release of The Long Con: A 12-Year Marriage Built on Lies by Dr. Tonya Johnson, a raw, unfiltered memoir of deception, heartbreak, and liberation.

For twelve years, Dr. Tonya believed the promises of a man who claimed to be a husband, a provider, a partner. What she discovered instead was a marriage built on lies: phantom degrees, fabricated careers, financial mismanagement, and betrayal that ran deeper than she ever imagined.

This isn’t just one woman’s story. It’s a cautionary tale for anyone who’s ever ignored a red flag and a declaration of resilience for every woman who’s ever had to fight her way back to freedom.

 What Readers Can Expect

The Lies Unraveled — Each chapter exposes the manipulations that held a marriage together for over a decade.

The Quiet Years — A candid look at intimacy lost and the toll silence takes.
The Great Escape — The triumphant story of breaking free and reclaiming life on her own terms.
Bonus Content — Companion materials for book clubs, discussion questions, and even a curated Spotify playlist titled “Lies, Liar, Lying.”

More Than a Book

This release comes with more than just pages. Readers will also have access to:

A Book Club Companion Guide with reflection prompts and group discussion questions.

A Spotify playlist curated by Dr. Tonya Johnson herself, the soundtrack of survival.

Live and virtual book launch events where readers can connect with the author and each other.

Why This Book Matters

The Long Con isn’t about wallowing in betrayal, it’s about naming it, surviving it, and transforming it into truth. It’s a bold reminder that no matter how deep the deception runs, freedom is always possible.
