Product Description

Product Description

Rosie and Abigail are like family, Ina Merriweather used to say. That is, until the day Ina abruptly cast out her housekeeper, Rosie, and her fifteen-year-old daughter Abigail. Abigail felt deeply betrayed, especially by Inas daughter Lila, who was her closest friend. Only Lilas twin brother Vaughn, with whom Abigail had been exploring the joys and heartaches of first love, showed any compassion. Now, twenty-five years later, an old score is about to be settled...and an old love rekindled. Abigail is now a self-made woman who has built an empire out of the homemaking skills she learned from her mother. When Lila, who married well and for decades lived the glittering life of a Park Avenue socialite, suffers a tragic reversal of fortune, an opportunity to right an old wrong lands squarely in Abigails lap. Lila seeks the help of her childhood friend, but learns that the only opening available at the moment is as her housekeeper and Lila has no choice but to accept. At the same time, Abigail is coping with the fallout from a fire in her Mexico factory, which took the life of an innocent girl, whose mother, Concepcin Morales, now seeks the rich seora she holds responsible for her daughters death. In a collision of fate, Abigail, Lila, and Concepcin are thrown together and must unite to save one another...and themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Behind Closed Doors..., Nov 17 2008
Childhood friends, Abigail and Lila, are torn apart by a betrayal that leaves them each damaged in different ways for years to come.

Abigail, the daughter of the family housekeeper, strives to achieve something with her life, and after many years of struggle, she becomes a household name...a diva of domesticity...A brand name. Her family life appears perfect, just like her domestic goddess kingdom, but underneath, more secrets and betrayals lurk.

Lila, worlds apart from Abigail in the beginning, as the daughter of a rich family, seemingly continues on this path, ending up with her handsome husband, beautiful Park Avenue apartment, and loving son. Then, with one brutal stroke of luck---or karma---it is all taken away, and
she is forced to seek employment just to sustain herself and her son. Which is why she finds herself, after numerous rejections, on the doorstep of her former friend.

When Abigail offers Lila a job as her housekeeper, it would seem like vengeance, or some kind of karmic justice.

Meanwhile, Lila's twin brother Vaughn, a world traveler and Abigail's teenage lover comes home with devastating news of his own.

The scene is set for drama, but everything seemingly spins out of control when a woman from Mexico begins wending her way to New York to avenge her daughter's death. A factory fire took the life of Concepcion's daughter, Milagros, which Concepcion believes is the direct result of Abigail's negligence.

Will the secrets and betrayals of the past finally come home to roost? Will Abigail and Lila ever restore the bond they once shared? What is going on with Abigail's teenage daughter, and will her strange, obsessive preoccupation with Lila's son turn into something even more troubling? And finally, what culminating events will bring all of the characters together or forever tear them asunder?

An intriguing read, Domestic Affairs, a story of domestic drama, truly transcends the "domestic" to become a sweeping emotional tale of lives derailed and family secrets revealed.
