The Matriarch
The Matriarch
She was manipulative but fragile and naïve.
She’s had a hard life that no one knows about or understands, that molded her into the woman she became because of the secrets that she’s kept. Secrets that destroy her from the inside.
She’s lost the only love she’ll ever have so being with Porter Watts makes no difference to her if she gets what she wants from him. He promised to take care of her and her only child still living at home. Wealth is something she’s never known.
She hadn’t bargained for how much she got.
The nice old man had secrets of his own.
She’s the matriarch of the family.
A wife.
A mother.
A grandmother but they, her sons and grandsons call her Satan’s Whore.
Most of them haven’t even spoken to her in months except Hanson, her favorite. Her grandsons are hot and cold. Her granddaughters and her daughters have always adored her.
Now she’s dead and she must relive her life on the big screen in a movie theater with her dead husband Bobby Preacher as her companion watching every moment she never wanted him to see.
She doesn’t know but he’s already seen it all as he watched over her, waiting for her to return to him. They both learn that the truth about their happy life is somewhere in the middle and forgiveness is easier than they thought because the ultimate prize is eternity together.
But for Delilah to leave the theater and find her happiness in eternity with Bobby she will have to forgive the one man she never wanted to see again. She will have to forgive every aching, abusive thing he ever did to her or she’ll be stuck with him forever, right there, sitting in the plush, red leather chairs, reliving all their moments together over and over.
Eternity is something Delilah never could have possibly imagined. To have it, she just needs to do the one thing she never thought possible, forgive Porter Watts.
Some cursing by Delilah after Bobby's death. Otherwise, no sex, not much cursing and a few violent scenes.

About the author
Lee Wardlow
94 books18 followersI'm a small town girl who in early 2000 moved to New Jersey. I had been writing for years. I have so many manuscripts I started and never finished I don't know what to do with them all. I happened to be stuck at the Philadelphia airport with an editor from a publishing house in New York. She read one of my first manuscripts and offered me advise on how to improve it. I lost touch with her with my career in IT taking over. In 2013 I lost my job in IT after ten years with the same company. Found another, lost it again in 2014 due to cutbacks. During this downtime I started writing again and decided to explore Self-Publishing. I love living out the lives of my characters on paper. I love reading other author's works as well. There is nothing like getting lost inside someone's fantasy just for a little while because life sure isn't easy. You can forget your troubles inside the pages of a book.
