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.

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

Family Secrets

The first thing I want to know is when; when will we get part two of this story because there has got to be more! This was a great read when some long ago family secrets being revealed.

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

a MUST read if you found your Half sibling

I brought the book. attempted to read it on vacation. however I keep crying. i have been looking for a book(s) to read where I could see myself. WELL be careful what you wish for.THIS BOOK HIT THE SPOT! after a while I gave up on trying to read the book because the tears keep coming making it impossible to see the page. THANK YOU FOR THE AUDIO.

Ok story

I didnt like the story at first, but then it captured my interest and I was putting the pieces together as it went on. But it, tho a good story line, it just fell flat in the end. hopefully there is a part 2 to save it? not sure if I would pay $18 to listen to it tho, luckily I used a credit for this one.

Decent Story

This could be a really good story....but, there was so much unnecessary dialogue that actually took from the story and bored me a bit. There's some great plot twist scenarios which, again makes for a really good story...but, the author took 8 hours (audiobook) to get to the point. This is a story of an investigative reporter who was assigned a story about a Senate candidate and her family secrets....also the connection the candidate has with the reporter. This story also has a few other storylines to try and get through. Decent narration.
