The Favor

About the Book

Widowed Ellen Ross, an urban professor, had no warning of what awaited her and her three children when she married Garth Epstein, whose resume read like a fairy tale: handsome, charming, well-educated and owner of one of oldest and largest ranches in East Texas. What it didn’t list was: narcissistic, arrogant and controlling, with an undertone of darkness that only Jennifer, her precocious oldest, seemed to perceive. Garth uprooted the family and moved them to Lake Point, Texas, a place deeply steeped in old bloodline traditions and prejudices against women, a piercing thorn in Jennifer’s liberated and extremely competitive side.
