When Ikemefuna is put on a plane from Lagos to
Texas, she anticipates her newly arranged All-American life: a handsome
husband, a beautiful red-brick mansion in Sugar Land, pizza parlors, and
dance classes.
Desperate to please, she'll happily cater to her
family's needs. But Ikemefuna soon discovers what it actually means to
live with her in-laws. Demands for a grandson grow urgent as her every
move comes under scrutiny. As Ikemefuna finds there’s no way out, her
new husband grapples with the influence of his parents against his own
increasing affection for her.
As family secrets boil to the
surface, Ikemefuna must decide how to scrape herself out of an
impossibly sticky situation: a marriage succumbing to generational
cycles of pain and silence. In the end, she may be carrying the greatest
secret of all.
An unforgettably delicious thriller, House Woman
is about a woman trapped in a dangerous web of conflicting desires,
melting in the Texas heat.
