Lucien and Marie-Ange are the main characters in this mysterious, ominous, and creepy novel. My Mother's House follows the couple after they immigrated from Haiti to New York and build a safe haven for fellow immigrants to find food, shelter, and any other help they may need. One day they get a guest that brings a haunting presence into their home. This novel gets very dark in the evils it presents and is thrilling, to say the least.
