Marriage promises fulfillment, but her happily-ever-after barely survives the honeymoon. Her husband’s sophisticated façade hides a brooding man with even darker secrets.

She flees their home in Detroit and sets out on a fearful journey to a house in Georgia that her husband knows nothing about.

My Review
My Father’s House was a story I didn’t want to end, the author drew me in and I never wanted to leave!
This is a family story, finding love, and not knowing the person before you commit, and finding out to late, but would you have done things differently? Lilly Rose is enchanted with Manny, and he sweeps her off her feet, but there is hidden danger here, and we hope for the best, but root for her to leave him.
We follow Lilly Rose from Detroit to finally ending up in Georgia, and from the descriptions in the book, this Northern girl is ready to move to this sweet town. I could picture the beautiful homes, and the gorgeous gardens, and these loving people on their rockers on the front porch.
Will Lilly ever be free of Manny? The violence seems to follow her, and you keep wondering the out come right to the end. Will there be a chance of happiness for this sweet girl? I was page turning and as I said I never wanted this book to end.
I received this book through Litfuse, and was not required to give a positive review.

Her life is changing in a big way.
ReplyDeleteThank you Maureen for your review. It was a delight for me to read. The ambiance and hospitality of these small Southern towns...it was just the nurturing environment the wounded Lily needed. It was so real even to me, I'm wondering now how they are all doing over in Wilcox Station. Thanks again and I'm so glad you enjoyed My Father's House.
