Beloved storyteller Belva Plain understands the rich tapestry of the human heart like no other. Her many dazzling New York Times bestsellers probe the shifting bonds of marriage and family with insight, compassion, and uncommon grace. And her new novel is not a exception. An account of fathers and daughters, lovers and families, acts of love and acts of betrayal, Her Father’s House is Belva Plain’s most powerful and unforgettable novel yet.
It is the spring of 1968 when Donald Wolfe, a graduate of an midwestern law school, arrives in New York. Filled up with ambition and idealism, he is dazzled not only by the top city but by the vivacious, restless Lillian, whom he marries in the heat of infatuation.
Surely theirs is not a marriage manufactured in heaven, but they have a kid, Tina, and she actually is the love of Donald’s heart. For her he would quit everything--his home, his distinguished career, and his freedom. When his flawed marriage begins to fail, a choice must be made. Shall he look at a step that would force him into flight and a life of hiding?
From her earliest years, Tina is exceptional, an excellent student and a joyous, loving spirit. With the university she falls deeply in love with Gilbert, who graduates from law school as she is about to enter medical school. Together each goes to New York, where she learns the reality about her family’s past, a truth that has to change her regard for the daddy who have protected and cherished her. When a terrible lie has been told out of love, could it be forgiven?
With courage and compassion, Belva Plain paints a moving portrait of the options that form the span of our lives, the secrets that haunt us, and the love that helps us heal and move ahead. It really is a work of riveting storytelling and rare emotional power by one of the very most gifted novelists of your time.
