Fractured Facade

Marie's peaceful life in Virginia is shattered the moment she receives word from her brother: "I just got a call from a detective. Daddy's dead." Rushing to her family home in Brooklyn, New York, Marie seeks answers to her father's mysterious death only to discover disturbing occurrences and encounter acts of betrayal. After her questions are amplified and suspicions confirmed surrounding her father's ex-girlfriend, Marie becomes frustrated by how oblivious so many had been, and continue to be, to the wily con-artist. Inheriting her father's scheming ex-girlfriend becomes a journey Marie never imagined she'd be forced to travel. Written as memoir, and based on a true story, Fractured Facade is a cautionary tale for anyone concerned about a parent after the loss of their spouse. The survivor, often thrust into an unfamiliar world, can find it quite different from the dating scene of their youth; one where some people create facades to mask their true intentions. Sadly, loneliness can cause an otherwise intelligent person to behave foolishly. "Fractured Facade" is the tale of a father's death, a daughter's life, and a sociopath's vendetta.
