HOUSE OF SIGHS PROLOGUE: It Begins “There is only one Evil: Disunity.” —Pierre Teilhard de Chardin” ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR Suzie Marten was ten years old when she died. She lived to dance. Spinning herself sick in search of rhythm, pirouetting until her toes hurt in the ballet shoes her father bought. They were a perfect fit—and let’s not forget the pink ribbon laces. She scuffed and broke the soles of those shoes with a knife spirited from the kitchen drawer, just don’t tell Mum.

Now I knew he'd been bleeding me dry for Riley Anderson, his childhood sweetheart. "I want to refinance the house, too," he added. I stopped what I was doing, my hands frozen in the sink, and turned to stare straight at him. "You really want your four three-year-old sons to end up homeless?"

My heart raced with a mix of panic and anger, yet I didn't dare move a muscle. I was terrified of the embarrassment that would follow if I were discovered.

Not even in my wildest, most fevered imagination could I have pictured my mother ending up with something this monumental. The house wasn't just a home; it was a glass-and-steel fortress that seemed to pierce the winter sky. The architecture was a masterpiece of modern opulence—soaring glass walls that reflected the snowy landscape, framed by accents of brushed gold that caught the pale sunlight. It looked less like a residence and more like a high-end museum or a royal palace.

My beautiful, beautiful girl. Isla had been sent from the heavens. Perfect in every way. Perhaps they had called her back… needed her for better things… that is what I keep telling myself. That she was not able to stay long upon our earth because the heavens needed their angel back… yet she had touched my heart and my soul… and now I was forever broken, now that she was gone. And try as I may, I could not find a way to move on. It felt like a losing battle at times. When at work I was fine.
