The Solace of Sin
Buy the book from:
Connie Stapleton retreats from a failing marriage by purchasing Shekinah Hall, an isolated house near Hexham whose neglect mirrors her own exhaustion. She expects distance to provide clarity, but the surrounding community and the presence of Vincent O’Connor draw her into relationships that complicate any simple escape.
Revelations about her husband and the emotional bargains of her marriage force Connie to reconsider the difference between guilt, loyalty and self-denial. The novel treats the house not as sanctuary but as a place where secrecy must be confronted before a new life can begin.
