House of Carter

Eliza Carter left with nothing but the clothes on her back.A year later, she returns to the same house.On the surface, nothing has changed. The same people. The same routines. The same quiet assumptions about who belongs and who doesn't. But something about it never sat right with her. And this time, she's not ignoring it.What begins as a return becomes something else entirely as old patterns start to shift and long-held truths refuse to stay buried. The more Eliza looks, the less anything around her holds the way it should.And once she sees it clearly, there's no going back to the way things were.House of Carter is a grounded, character-driven novel about power, identity, and the moment something stops making sense and what happens when someone finally decides to find out why.
