Debut novel - SECRET
Synopsis below:
In the small, southern town of Louisville, Georgia, there is a
scorned secret that has ripped through homes. Accursed is the
w*%re that it came from, people around town say, but to a sassy,
country girl named Secret, that's not all to it. She asks herself, what curse, and what does it have to do with me? That's when Secret takes matters into her own hands and attempts to solve the terrifying
mystery of her family.
The 2nd novel-COLORED LILY,Poppa Took My Innocence- is the prequel to the debut.
Synopsis below:
What would a daughter want more from her father than his love? However, in the rural town of Louisville, GA, a teenage girl called by the name of Jocie, finds out how the love she once adored from her poppa can become twisted and feel so much
like hatred, causing hell-grown wounds. Going on a search for the love that she yearns so deeply, Jocie winds up with worse than she bargained for, and without an escape, ends up in the midst of death, darkness, and a cold conception while gripping the darkest secret that only God in heaven can know and forgive!
Written for total suspense, the books are to be read SECRET first and COLORED LILY next, but the choice is yours! :) Both have endings!
