A Fall Before Pride
To her neighbours, Ellie Darnell's life is one of a beautiful home, financial security, and three daughters to warm her heart. But Ellie views her life very differently. She sees a home without soul, a living eked out on her late husband's pension, and a relationship with her children as cold as an Arctic storm.
With a daughter precocious and provocative beyond her years, a rebellious middle child who is anathema to the values Ellie holds so dear, and a disabled daughter whose innocent actions lead to interminable family strife, the Darnells bring a whole new meaning to the phrase 'strained relations'.
When Ellie is forced to confront her own dark secret head-on, events come together in a volatile cocktail that threatens to rip asunder the remaining fabric of their family bonds. Only one person can repair the damage - and that person is the least best-placed to do so.
At once heart warming and heart-rending, A Fall Before Pride is an ideal bed-time read or companion for the commute. It is the fourth novelette to be released from the author's TWISTS anthology.
