You are invited into a world of madness, inside the gates of a home known as Brookledge Manor. Within its locked doors lies the world of a high-society family with many secrets. Father is the all-powerful godhead; Mother the society matron, ever-concerned about protecting the family"s image, which young Raven Brookledge senses has already been tarnished--and that she is somehow to blame. Why else would she be kept much like a prisoner, hidden from the world beyond? Lorna is the ever-present voice whispering in Raven"s ear, telling her that being the lone colored adopted person in their family makes Raven a misfit; that she was never loved or wanted. Raven struggles to understand why the family adopted her, leading her on a search for her biological family. Her father provides the answers she is looking for...or does he? As Raven"s search for answers progresses, she finds that she is in a battle against time, for all who live at Brookledge Manor seem destined to perish before their time. The house itself holds the secrets, but will it manage to claim all of its inhabitants as penalty for her quest? Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге The Adoption Conspiracy (J. E. Sayles)
