Title: The House on Prospect
Date Published: 1/2012
Synopsis:
Ellen Murphy spent her childhood in an idyllic house by the sea. A house surrounded by flower-filled gardens and a white picket fence. A house she fled at eighteen. A house full of secrets.
When her mother Rose, an ex-nun, is diagnosed with terminal cancer, Ellen reluctantly returns home to care for her and uncovers a clue to the one secret that has haunted Ellen all her life: the identity of her father. But that is just one of the many secrets hidden behind the beautiful facade of the house on Prospect Road. Ellen discovers the high price both her mother and her Irish grandmother paid for the house on Prospect and she realizes that her meek mother is more of stranger to her than her absent father.

My Review:
I love having the opportunity to mix it up when it comes to reading. I read so many different genres, but I find myself getting stuck on one for weeks at a time. This was definitely a refreshing read!
Bernadette Walsh has created a story with characters so real and addictive I could not put it down. I got so drawn into their lives, which is a great accomplishment for any author. I've always said those are my favorite stories, where I feel so strongly about the characters.
Be ready to go on a roller coaster of emotions with this story, but it is definitely well worth the ride!
Author Bio:
I have always
been a bookworm and had always meant to write a novel “someday.” You know, when
I won the lottery and could live in beach house and look out onto the water and
feel inspired. Four years ago I decided to stop waiting for my winning lottery
ticket and sat down and started writing in between work and family obligations.
I piled the words on top of each other until they formed sentences, paragraphs,
chapters and eventually a book. The
House on Prospect is my second
novel. My first, a contemporary romance, Gold
Coast Wives, was published in November 2011. The first book of my paranormal
trilogy, Devil’s Mountain -- Book
One of the Devlin Legacy, is due to be published in June 2012. While I’ve
hopped around genres, all of my books to date have a common theme: strong women
handling what life throws at them the best way they can.
