The Secret Story: A Novel by Ginny Gilroy

The Secret Story is part Gothic horror, part psychological thriller, but transcends genre fiction by examining issues of identity and control. At its center is a strong, contemporary heroine, Constance Tierney. Although independently wealthy she is devoted to her job as vice president of technology at a small publishing company. When Constance commits a seemingly irrational act of betrayal at work, she realizes she must resurrect the truth of her past, which she has hidden even from herself. Leaving behind her comfortable life in New York City, she returns to the mansion she had inherited. The old caretaker, who has an unnatural devotion to the long-deserted house, is reluctant to help her unearth the secrets of her past. However, the past won’t rest, forcing Constance into a decisive act of ownership.
