Review by Marlene Engel
Stay
at home mom Felicia seems to have the perfect life; an adoring husband, three
great kids and the occasional acting gig.
But her life isn’t quite what it seems as a secret from her past
threatens to surface.
While
her husband spends many hours at the office, and more times than not coming
home after the children are already in bed for the night, Felicia is left
feeling stressed out. Having to keep up
with the daily demands of the home and children often makes her fantasize about
escaping from it all.
When
she receives a phone call from a man from her past, he holds the ability to
bring Felicia’s house of cards tumbling to the ground. As she goes from one bad decision to another,
her husband reaches his breaking point and chooses to leave. Felicia goes to great length to bury her
past, but as the adage goes … everything done in the dark eventually comes to
the light.
A
compelling book from a new (to me) author.
Second House From The Corner
will have you wondering what secrets may be hiding behind the closed doors of
your neighbors.
