Columbella
Whitney Phyllis A
Finally liberated from
her cruel and domineering mother, twenty-eight-year-old schoolteacher
Jessica Abbott has accepted a position as governess in Hampden House, a
crumbling plantation on the cliffs of St. Croix. Her charge is Leila
Drew, the oppressed teenage daughter of a pathologically punishing
mother. But the vulnerable girl is not Catherine Drew’s only victim.
For years, Catherine’s desperate husband, King, a man to whom Jessica
is irresistibly drawn, has been searching for the means to a safe
escape—for himself and Leila—from this ruin of a family. As Jessica
becomes further entwined in the violent dynamics of the Drew family, she
realizes Catherine’s wretched power may be grounded in a secret that
has trapped not only King and Leila, but herself as well.
