Publisher Description

Lydia Franklin, daughter of a prosperous New York banker, grows up in a house filled with shadows and secrets. By the time she marries George Webster and moves to Connecticut, she is a dutiful wife obsessed with forgetting her past...controlling her daughter Charlotte's life...and vanquishing her personal demons. But Lydia's deeply buried yesterdays may taint her daughter's chance of happiness, and destroy her beautiful, artistic granddaughter Molly with the legacy of a truth too shocking to ever tell.

​A riveting novel of mother and daughters torn apart by loss and twisted emotions, In My Mother's House sweeps from the brownstones of turn-of-the-century New York to the stately farmlands of Connecticut to explore a woman's shame, a family's deceit, and a final act of love...
