“With more twists than a bag of pretzels, this compelling family saga may make you question what you think you know about your own relatives.” (Cosmopolitan)
"Roanoke girls never last long around here. In the end we either run or we die."
After her mother's suicide, 15-year-old Lane Roanoke came to live with her grandparents and fireball cousin, Allegra, on their vast estate in rural Kansas. Lane knew little of her mother's mysterious family, but she quickly embraced life as one of the rich and beautiful Roanoke girls. But when she discovered the dark truth at the heart of the family, she ran...fast and far away.
Eleven years later Lane is adrift in Los Angeles when her grandfather calls to tell her Allegra has gone missing. Did she run, too? Or something worse? Unable to resist his pleas, Lane returns to help search and to ease her guilt at having left Allegra behind. Her homecoming may mean a second chance with the boyfriend whose heart she broke that long ago summer. But it also means facing the devastating secret that made her flee, one she may not be strong enough to run from again.
As it weaves between Lane's first Roanoke summer and her return, The Roanoke Girls shocks and tantalizes, twisting its way through revelation after mesmerizing revelation, exploring the secrets families keep and the fierce and terrible love that both binds them together and rips them apart.

Historia
Deep in the heart of Appalachia stands a crooked farmhouse miles from any road. The Morrows keep to themselves, and it's served them well so far. When girls go missing off the side of the highway, the cops don't knock on their door. Which is a good thing, seeing what's buried in the Morrows' backyard. But 19-year-old Michael Morrow isn't like the rest of his family. He doesn't take pleasure in the screams that echo through the trees.

After a brutal nuclear war, the United States was left decimated. A small group of survivors eventually banded together, but only after more conflict over which family would govern the new nation. The Westfalls lost. Fifty years later, peace and control are maintained by marrying the daughters of the losing side to the sons of the winning group in a yearly ritual. This year, it is my turn. My name is Ivy Westfall and my mission is simple: to kill the president's son - my soon-to-be husband - and return the Westfall family to power.

One year ago, Isabelle Drake's life changed forever: her toddler son, Mason, was taken out of his crib in the middle of the night while she and her husband were asleep in the next room. With little evidence and few leads for the police to chase, the case quickly went cold. However, Isabelle cannot rest until Mason is returned to her—literally. Except for the occasional catnap or small blackout where she loses track of time, she hasn’t slept in a year. Isabelle's entire existence now revolves around finding him, but she knows she can’t go on this way forever.

Now reduced to a schoolyard chant, the Hope family murders shocked the Maine coast one bloody night in 1929. While most people assume seventeen-year-old Lenora was responsible, the police were never able to prove it. Other than her denial after the killings, she has never spoken publicly about that night, nor has she set foot outside Hope’s End, the cliffside mansion where the massacre occurred.

Historia
At birth, Violet and Rose Flowers were identical, save for a tiny bluish-purple mark gracing Violet’s slender neck. By nineteen, their temperaments distinguish them, as different as the flowers their mother named them for—Violet, wild and outgoing, and Rose, solitary and reserved. Still, they are each other’s world. Then, on a sweltering, terrible August night in 1928, an explosion rocks Lamb’s Dance Hall in Possum Flats, Missouri, engulfing it in flames, leaving one twin among the dozens dead, and her sister’s life forever changed.

If I Had Your Face is a riveting debut novel set in contemporary Seoul, South Korea, about four young women making their way in a world defined by impossible standards of beauty, after-hours room salons catering to wealthy men, ruthless social hierarchies, and K-pop mania. Together, their stories tell a gripping tale at once unfamiliar and unmistakably universal, in which their tentative friendships may turn out to be the thing that ultimately saves them.

Loved this book!
While this book / subject may not be for everyone, I found it so interesting. Far fetched in some ways but not unbelievable. The story moves along quickly and every chapter is well done even the "then" ones. Narration is excellent. Might be the best book of the year for me!

Listener/Reader Discretion
This book is amazingly disturbing. But a tale that Unfortunately may be a truth for some people. It was brilliantly performed. Eye opening. If you are someone who has suffered from trauma- sexual or physical- as a child or adult- at the hands of a family member, this book may cause you extreme emotional distress. Read with caution.

Twists, twists and more twists. Although the plot itself was disturbing, the author and performance were so great that I couldn't stop listening.

This book really has it all.
The author brings the characters vividly to life in your mind. You feel their dread and pain and struggle. All the way until the end smacks you in the face. I really enjoyed this book. First one I’ve read/listened to from the author. I am looking forward to the next one!

I Had To Collect My Thoughts to Write This Review
The Roanoke Girls is a very odd book. Roanoke is a house or ranch in small town Kansas. There have been several Roanoke girls born through the marriage of the patriarch and his wife, but oddly enough they all ran away when they could. All of them were dead before age thirty.
Two of the daughters' offspring are forced to go live with their grandparents on the grand estate. Not knowing much about their background or their history, they soon learn that Roanoke isn't exactly the big, beautiful estate it seems. There are secrets in the walls, in the beds, and in their very DNA.
We learn about the secrets and the ways that family can show love, both harshly and inappropriately. We learn how, even though you might be surrounded by family, you can still be extremely lonely, confused and in the state of constant despair. We learn how the sickness of the father carries on to the daughters and the sons.
This book is depressing. It's told nonchalantly, like nothing should surprise the reader. It has that odd 'tug' that makes you want to hear more and listen, but it also repulses the listener and makes he or she hope the story will take a different turn.
I recommend it for a melancholy listen. It's written well and it's a great story.

beautifully told story of intergenerational trauma
parts of this story were predictable but those is because abusers are predictable. this is the story of abuse of power, the power and limitations of women, and the connection built from trauma.
