"Exciting character study"
Though the sex lacks passion, Faith Bronson believes her
life is nearly perfect, as she loves her husband David, the
Director of the family foundation Promise Our Children.
However, her fifteen years of marital bliss ends when Faith
finds David in bed with his lover, journalist Abraham
Stein. David comes out of the closet, but Promise Our
Children invokes the morality clause of his contract that
leaves the Bronsons broke. Faith and her two children move into the dilapidated
Georgetown house that has been in her mother's family for
years while David and Abraham openly live together. Faith
investigates the history of her new residence where her
newborn sister vanished almost four decades ago in a
kidnapping that has never been solved. She looks to
renovate her new home, which introduces Faith to Pavel
Quinn. They are attracted to one another, but he hides
secrets that tie back to her family and she grieves her
previous relationship while helping her devastated children
regain their mental health. PROSPECT STREET is an exciting character study that shreds
the mental masquerades that individuals use to avoid
emotionally shattering situations. The story line focuses
on Faith as she redefines herself while trying to repair
the damage done to the psyche of her two children,
especially the teenager. Readers will question the motives
of why Faith allowed pride to refuse needed assistance from
her parents and why her prominent father put strings on his
helping his beleaguered grandchildren as if the wellbeing
of Remy and Alex is a secondary concern. Emilie Richards
provides a thought provoking tale that peels away the
visages that people use to hide scarred inner essences from
ridicule. Harriet Klausner
