A House Divided

By: Donna Hill

Narrated by: Karen Chilton

Families always have secrets. And secrets have the power to heal - or hurt. Now beloved author Donna Hill's enthralling novel explores the wrongs we do for the right reasons and the ways we struggle to reconcile the truth.

Journalist Zoie Crawford had to leave New Orleans to finally make her own life. Her grandmother, Claudia, inspired her to follow her dreams - just as her mother, Rose, held on too tight. But with Claudia's passing, Zoie reluctantly returns home, where the past is written in the lonely corners of the bayou and the New South's supercharged corridors of power. And there she discovers a stunning, painstakingly kept secret - one that could skyrocket her career but destroy another woman's...and change both their vastly different lives for better or for much worse.

Zoie has always put the truth first. Now, as the line between the personal and professional blurs and she tries to understand her relatives' deception, she must face some tough questions. Is there a way to expose the truth and save those you love? And at what cost?

Heartfelt, emotional, and revelatory, A House Divided is an unforgettable tale about making the hardest of choices, coming to terms with all you could lose - and finding what forgiveness and family truly mean.

House Divided

I think the storyline was not original, however it was told from a different perspective and outcome. The performance was outstanding and made it easy to follow.

Great story!

I really liked this story, I just didn't like the ending . I'm really hoping for a part 2.

Entertaining

An easy listen but a bit predictable. Still love Donna Hill just wanted a little more meat to the story

Truth hurts

Absolutely wonderful. A great read. The author shedded light on how family truly keep secrets and the damage it creates. The author takes us on a Rollercoaster ride of emotions with Zoe and Jackson's on again, off again relationship; her inability to deal with her hurt; dealing with Jackson's relationship with another woman; her finding out her family's secret involving a local prominent family; and having to wrestle with what may happen if she revealed that secret to the world.

Story Worth Listening To

This story highlighted some of the history of the African American Experience. The narration was excellent and the story kept me interested. Enjoyed
