His hidden wife
Par Wendy Clarke. 2021
"The first time you see them, out for an evening walk on the cliffs, you'll think they're the perfect family.…
You'll see a wife who looks so happy, strolling peacefully beside her husband in his dark winter coat, holding her daughter's hand. But you have no idea what's really happening in their house... If you come a little closer you might hear the way the man speaks to his wife. You might notice that the woman doesn't have any close friends. That sometimes her husband doesn't want her to leave the house. You might wonder if that's a scar her beautiful daughter is hiding on her neck. When you read the local newspaper and hear the news that the wife has fallen from the cliffs, you'll question whether it was really an accident at all. And when the husband starts dating someone new--a woman with the same long dark hair and big blue eyes as his wife--will you say something this time? Because someone has to protect the little girl and stop history from repeating itself. And it may already be too late." -- Provided by publisherWinter cottage
Par Mary Ellen Taylor. 2018
"Still grieving the loss of her wandering, free-spirited mother, Lucy Kincaid leaves Nashville for the faded town of Cape Hudson,…
Virginia. She goes to see the house she's inherited-one she never knew existed, bequeathed to her by a woman she's never even met. At the heart of this mystery is the hope that maybe-just maybe-this "Winter Cottage" will answer the endless questions about her mother's past...including the identity of her birth father. Rather than the quaint Virginian bungalow Lucy expected, Winter Cottage is a grand old estate of many shadows-big enough to hold a century of secrets, passions, and betrayals. It also comes with a handsome and enigmatic stranger, a man next in line to claim Lucy's inheritance. Now, as Lucy sifts through the past, uncovering the legacy of secrets that Winter Cottage holds, she'll come to discover as much about her family history as she does about herself. In searching, she could finally find the one thing she's never really had: a home." -- Provided by publisherThe family across the street

"Sometimes, the most perfect families are hiding the most terrible secrets. How well do you know the people next door?…
Everybody wants to live on Hogarth Street, the pretty, tree-lined avenue with its white houses. The new family, The Wests, are a perfect fit. Katherine and Josh seem so in love and their gorgeous five-year-old twins race screeching around their beautiful emerald-green lawn. But soon people start to notice: why don't they join backyard barbecues? Why do they brush away offers to babysit? Why, when you knock at the door, do they shut you out, rather than inviting you in? Every family has secrets, and on the hottest day of the year, the truth is about to come out. As a tragedy unfolds behind closed doors, the dawn chorus is split by the wail of sirens. And one by one the families who tried so hard to welcome the Wests begin to realise: Hogarth Street will never be the same again." -- Provided by publisherWoman running in the mountains

"Alone at dawn, in the heat of midsummer, a young woman named Takiko Odaka departs on foot for the hospital…
to give birth to a baby boy. Her pregnancy, the result of a brief affair with a married man, is a source of sorrow and shame to her abusive parents. For Takiko, however, it is a cause for reverie. Her baby, she imagines, will be hers and hers alone, a challenge that she also hopes will free her. Takiko's first year as a mother is filled with the intense bodily pleasures and pains that come from caring for a newborn. At first she seeks refuge in the company of other women--in the hospital, in her son's nursery--but as the baby grows, her life becomes less circumscribed as she explores Tokyo, then ventures beyond the city into the countryside, toward a mountain that captures her imagination and desire for a wilder freedom." -- Provided by publisherMalaluna (Trilogía del Malamor #0.5)

With totally opposite personalities, each one of these sisters journeys down paths and rabbit holes to the ends of the earth in search of a place to live, a place they only arrive at after a journey that takes them centuries to complete. They also say that all myths are like a tree of life, because their branches and fruit indelibly transform those who dare to come close. Will Rose and Rayén change the path of their own destiny?
