THE HOUSE INSIDE: A Novel (Southern Sap Series Book 1)

Twenty two year old Willodean Hart has lost everything, her job, her home, her no-good-for-nothing-husband and her mind. A mental break down forces her to move in with her parents. Memories of her childhood surface which sets off a series of events all hilarious, heartwarming and harrowing. Hart struggles with two alternate realms of being; the one she knows to be real and the one her family says doesn’t exist. As a child, Hart heard countless stories about the importance of namesakes, a red stone, a curse and a mysterious mirror bin. For six generations the family has denied its existence as fabricated stories from a pill popping hypochondriac grandmother. Hart is convinced that the stories are real and unwillingly becomes tangled up in a haunting past that could destroy her or set her free.

Hart will learn powerful lessons about herself, her zany, eccentric family and the power of love that covers even the most tragic circumstances. This dark, magical novel delivers a portrait of southern life with wisecracking, moving characters and the discovery of faith in unexpected places.

THE HOUSE INSIDE, book 1 of the SOUTHERN SAP SERIES, a raw and beautiful, coming of age novel filled with the mystery and mayhem of the true south. A must read for southern Gothic fans.
