"Homeplace"

Another Anne Rivers Siddons novel. I had this paperback lying around for quite a while and since I enjoyed her last novel, I thought I would put this one to rest. This one started in the south in the early 60's. Racism was rampant! Young Micah (female) was born and her mother died. Her father never forgave her for taking his beautiful wife from him. At 18 she made the the worst mistake she could in her racist father's eyes. She went to a sit-in during a Civil Rights Rally. She got arrested. Her Father threw her out of the house. From there she made her way on her own to become a rather well known journalist. A failed marriage and her daughter's desire to live with her estranged husband left her with a decision. Her Father, now sick with cancer and a stroke, wanted her to return to the small town in the south. No welcoming arms awaited her. Just a shell of a man. Time would tell whether there would be a healing of the break in their relationship. Some sinister plots were thrown in the mix to make it a very page turning novel.

Lots of new books are out tomorrow by favorite authors. Hmmmmmmmmm!
