The Mansion Madres Mansion

The Mansion {Madres Mansion}

This is book 1 of The Mansion {Madres Mansion}. The cold breeze on my face, clinging tightly to my bare arms. My arms wrapped around my torso in an attempt to keep me warm. Tears stream down my face as memories of Harry's cruel betrayal flood my mind. Of all days, he chose my birthday to hurt me. My red pumps created a gentle click sound with every contact it made with the tarred road. Creating the only sound the night breeze brings to my ears. Asides from my sobs and the distant barks of the neighborhood dogs. My third sense is suddenly activated as I sense I'm being followed. I smell danger. Walking alone on such desolate streets doesn't seem like the best idea I could have come up with. I wasn't thinking straight when I made that choice. I should have called my driver to come to get me! This creepy feeling becomes more intense and I decide to do the one thing I know I'm good at; run! I throw my purse and phone away as I begin to run in the frenzy I feel something hot on my trail, when I look back, all I see is dark fog. The more reason to run faster. The road was fairly lit by moonlight, my heart in my mouth, and prayers of help and mercy escaping my lips. Finally, I hear music playing from loudspeakers. I'm close to civilization! I keep running frantically… Tales of missing children are considered a fallacy till teenage Sonia goes missing... Follow Sonia on her desperate quest to break free... And bring the truth to light.

Secrets of the Eighteen Mansions

The novel’s seamless intertwining of the characters’ lives with contemporary Philippine and Chinese history brings to life the so-called First Quarter Storm of student activism and the formation of the New People’s Army in the Philippines, and China’s Cultural Revolution in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The movement goes awry resorting to terrorist tactics, summary executions and betrayals of faith.
