A House Divided

By Donna Hill

Book Overview

Families always have secrets. And secrets have the power to heal--or hurt. Now beloved author Donna Hill's enthralling novel explores the wrongs we do for the right reasons, and the ways we struggle to reconcile the truth. Journalist Zoie Crawford had to leave New Orleans to finally make her own life. Her grandmother, Claudia, inspired her to follow her dreams--just as her mother, Rose, held on too tight. But with Claudia's passing, Zoie reluctantly returns home, where the past is written in the lonely corners of the bayou and the New South's supercharged corridors of power. And there she discovers a stunning, painstakingly kept secret--one that could skyrocket her career, but destroy another woman's--and change both their vastly different lives, for better or for much worse. Zoie has always put the truth first. Now, as the line between the personal and professional blurs, and she tries to understand her relatives' deception, she must face some tough questions. Is there a way to expose the truth and save those you love? And at what cost? Heartfelt, emotional, and revelatory, A House Divided is an unforgettable tale about making the hardest of choices, coming to terms with all you could lose--and finding what forgiveness and family truly mean.

Nothing stays a secret forever

Zoie Crawford was an exceptional reporter because of her ability to remember every little detail. She would leave no stone unturned to get to the bottom of the truth. Her grandmother's death put her in the postion of getting all ther grandmother's thing, ie, her house and all it contents, ther vegatable business and keeping a roof over the heads of her mother and two aunts. There was also her first boyfriend Jackson who she had never gotten over. This book was a great story on how all things come to light. Why she had trouble with trusting people and having relationships with people.
