November 6th, 2010 by Danielle
Just out this week is Karen White’s Falling Home! I saw the cover and then the synopsis and was immediately intrigued. A scandal between sisters, inheritance arguments and all centered around a historic homes. It sounds like a great read! This is one I’m definitely hoping to read in the very near future. Take a look:
In Falling Home, Cassie Madison is pulled away from her fast-track career, her Upper West Side apartment and her metrosexual fiance by the news that her father has suffered a heart attack. He knows he is dying and wants both of his daughters home by his side. Cassie left Walton fifteen years ago with no plans to return after Joe, the man she loved, eloped with her sister Harriet.
Cassie can barely handle being with her sister, let alone Joe. Yet, there is no way she can keep her distance from them, not as her father lay dying and not with Aunt Lucinda, who helped raise the girls after their mother’s death, looking on. News hat the family home has been willed solely to Cassie creates a new rift when she announces her plans to sell the house and its contents as soon as possible. Even long-time family friend Sam Parker, the town’s only physician and an admirer of Cassie since high school, can’t convince her to delay her decision. Soon, Cassie and her inheritance are at the center of the struggle between developers and the preservationists fighting to protect the small town’s sensibility and historic homes.
