The Weaver's Daughter Geraldine Solon

In a psychiatric institution, resides a weaver, Marisol Suarez. Her hands are frail, her eyesight is failing and her hope is dwindling, but her mind is as sharp as steel. She carries with her scars of a dark secret she chooses to take to her grave because the person she needed most to believe... never did. Years have passed but Isabel Ongpin cannot seem to let go of the darkest days of her life. The past seems to haunt her with each bruise and scar--each hurtful word from the person she refused to believe was a monster. Every day she chooses to keep this secret, all she can think of is, it's my fault In a mansion up in the hill, resides eighteen year old and only child, Lotus Ongpin. Throughout her life, Hacienda Hermosa is the only place she's ever known as her parents chose to protect her from the outside world. All she yearns for is to be loved, but her feelings and opinion don't matter as long as she is fed, clothed and housed. As Lotus ventures into the outside world, she discovers the world her family has kept hidden. A world full of learning, passion, and pain. Yet ... she has no idea about the truths that are yet to unfold. Like a dress, the lives of these women are woven together in tragic beauty and love.
