内容简介

From the USA Today bestselling author of Fox River and Whiskey Island comes the story of a woman who has lived by everyone else's rules, a woman who must discover what she is made of when her life crumbles around her.

Faith Bronson, daughter of a prominent Virginia senator and wife of a charismatic lobbyist, finds her privileged life shattered when her marriage ends abruptly. Only just beginning to face the lie she has lived, she finds sanctuary with her two children in a run-down row house in exclusive Georgetown. Passed down from generation to generation in her mother's family, it's a dwelling as forsaken and lonely as Faith herself.

Yet this historic row house harbors dark secrets of its own. Secrets that have shaped her family -- and built walls around so many hearts. Almost forty years ago, Faith's newborn baby sister disappeared from an upstairs bedroom, and even now this tragic, unsolved mystery continues to fascinate a nation.

When Faith takes steps to research and rebuild her ancestral home -- and in the process her own life -- she meets Pavel Quinn. A powerful businessman and fellow renovator, Pavel is connected in stunning ways to her past, ways he dares not reveal. His strong attraction to Faith is enough to convince him to keep his secrets to himself . . . because the truth could drive her away forever.

But now the secrets of the house on Prospect Street are about to be revealed. As Faith is forced to confront the deceit that has long defined her, she moves closer to freeing those she loves from their torment. For it is only when the truth is told that Faith, her family and the man she loves can make a new beginning.

Suspenseful, powerful and thought provoking, Prospect Street artfully explores and exposes the facades people create, and the freedom that comes when the walls that confine us come tumbling down.
