Abigail Dean Knihy

Lex Gracieová prežila kruté detstvo. Sadistickí rodičia ju aj jej piatich súrodencov neprestajne týrali, držali v dome o hlade, zväzovali reťazami, zamykali potme v špinavých nevykúrených izbách so zatemnenými oknami. Nečudo, že po vyslobodení sa dlho vyhýbala všetkému, čo ju spájalo s touto temnou časťou života. Po smrti matky sa však vracia do rodného Anglicka, aby prevzala zdedený rodičovský dom – dom hrôzy – a spolu so súrodencami rozhodla o jeho osude. Staré rany sa otvárajú a na povrch sa vyplavujú ďalšie tajomstvá a zamlčované pravdy. Kto sa naučil žiť s traumatickou minulosťou a kto ju nikdy neprekonal?
