Book Description
Only eighteen, Rose had a three month-old baby, born out of wedlock. Her mother Sybil, determined to protect the family reputation, had carefully concealed the baby from the entire town. This was 1910, after all. That fateful day, Sybil brought an old doll down from the attic as a present for baby Angela. Mysteriously, the next day Angela did not wake up. Just a few days later, there was more dreadful news. Several strange events in such a short period of time Sybil gave birth to Ted a few years later. Both Sybil and her unmarried daughter Gertrude doted on Ted as he grew up. However, Sybil was furious when Ted decided to marry Jenny, the maid. They were forced to elope. The couple soon had a daughter, Annie. In 1950, when Annie was eight, Sybil's deathbed wish was that Ted and Jenny would bring Annie so that she could at last lay eyes on her grand-daughter. Upon seeing Annie, Sybil said "Now she is yours", then collapsed. The family had no idea what she meant ... After Sybil passed away, Ted, Jenny and Annie moved into the old house to live with Gertrude. Unfortunately, death continued to stalk the family. Years later the neighborhood was being developed and a new family moved in next door to the old mansion. Unsurprisingly, two young girls decided to check out the abandoned house, where they found an old doll. Was it possible that the house had sat unoccupied for forty years? Sadly, the troubles in the old house were not yet at an end ...

Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
A big-hearted coming-of-age debut set in civil rights-era New Orleans—a novel of Southern eccentricity and secrets When Ibby Bell’s father dies unexpectedly in the summer of 1964, her mother unceremoniously deposits Ibby with her eccentric grandmother Fannie and throws in her father’s urn for good measure. Fannie’s New Orleans house is like no place Ibby has ever been—and Fannie, who has a tendency to end up in the local asylum—is like no one she has ever met. Fortunately, Fannie’s black cook, Queenie, and her smart-mouthed daughter, Dollbaby, take it upon themselves to initiate Ibby into the ways of the South, both its grand traditions and its darkest secrets. For Fannie’s own family history is fraught with tragedy, hidden behind the closed rooms in her ornate Uptown mansion. It will take Ibby’s arrival to begin to unlock the mysteries there. And it will take Queenie and Dollbaby’s hard-won wisdom to show Ibby that family can sometimes be found in the least expected places. For fans of Saving CeeCee Honeycutt and The Help, Dollbaby brings to life the charm and unrest of 1960s New Orleans through the eyes of a young girl learning to understand race for the first time. By turns uplifting and funny, poignant and full of verve, Dollbaby is a novel readers will take to their hearts.
