The Fifteen Houses is the first book of this new and exciting series to be published. Staged in Massachusetts, in the early 1950’s, the writer delves into her recurring and discomforting memories of her younger years. Julianne Marguerite, one of eleven children, is determined to uncover the “mystery” that resulted in the downfall of her family. Each series of memories will open a different door, to the different homes, (“Fifteen” to be exact,) that she had lived in. Reconnecting with her family after having been estranged for over three decades, Julianne revisited each of the homes to discover how or why things that happened molded her into the person she had become. What transpired early on in her life that would change who she should have become? In her quest to understand her upbringing, Julianne Marguerite cleans out the “files of memories” hoping to be able to face these head on, and then…..put the memories to bed. Instead, she unleashes a “dam” overflowing with mixed emotions and she finds herself drowning from the hold these fifteen houses still had on her. These unfolding memories become stepping stones as they encourage her to erase the bad times, and she begins facing forward, focusing on getting past the scars that are still alive today and succeeds in finding the real Julianne Marguerite. She then allows her surviving and strengthened spirit, the “real” Julianne Marguerite to attempt to take the remnant of the family she left behind and tries to help them ward off the demons of their past so that together they can become the family they should have been. Tears, sorrow, anger and laughter mixed with real life experiences will enhance Julianne Marguerite’s story as it unfolds. The Fifteen Houses, will build in you are strong desire to learn more.
