Riassunto

Young Jewish woman fights to uncover the truth about her family history in 1970s USA.

Julie Ellis is the author of many popular commercial novels. She’s known for her portrayal of strong women fighting for their families and for their faith. A SACRED OBLIGATION tells the story of Diane, a child of holocaust survivors, and her endeavours to prove that her father did not commit suicide but was murdered.

Diane Phillips grows up bright and ambitious in New York; her only care is that everyone believes her father committed suicide when she was a toddler. Her mother has never accepted this and when she finally gives in to despair, Diane is compelled to seek the truth and sets off for her birthplace, the small town of Eden, Georgia.

It’s an elegant town of colonnaded houses and legendary Southern charm, where the living is slow and easy. Running the show is Diane’s grandfather, Lloyd Masters, powerful benefactor and philanthropist. But trouble lurks beneath the facade of the perfect family in the perfect town. There have been several grisly murders, with no discernible link. As Diane takes on the might of her estranged relatives, long-buried secrets are finally revealed.
